Dear John,
Does your child have a phone? It’s a tough decision for many families, especially families of older children. As parents, we want to protect our children from the dangers of social media and the internet at large – dangers that range from screen addiction to depression to explicit content and even abuse.
We recently asked you to tell us what your biggest pain points and questions were around tech for your family. Repeatedly, one thing stood out: even when we do our best to keep phones away or limit screen time, our kids are still exposed to screens on a regular basis.
What’s a parent to do?
Family Policy Foundation has got you covered. NEXT WEEK, we will launch a brand-new course for parents, grandparents, and others who want to keep kids safe online.
The Tech-Ready Family will answer the hard questions and provide strategies to tame the tech in your home in 30 days or less! It will help you become tech savvy in all of these areas:
- How do I limit screen time for my kids?
- How do I access parental controls?
- How do I find out if my kid has been exposed to pornography?
- What are the dangers of social media?
-
Are there safe apps my kids can use?
- Isn’t just turning off all tech the best option in the long run?
Beginning next week, you can get answers to these questions and many more.
The Tech-Ready Family is a series of short (3-7 minutes), informative lessons that parents can put into practice immediately. Tech wizards need not apply! This course is for any adult who cares about keeping kids safe online. The course features bite-sized lessons that you can watch at your own pace and re-watch as often as you wish.
Any family can do this.
