Understanding the Allure of Screen Time- Let\u2019s Take a Look Behind the Curtain<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Thursday, March 9th 5:30-7pm at Crest View<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Our first event focused on the top 5 digital media applications (e.g., social media, video games, explicit content, information overload and compulsive spending) that are developed to lure kids in, and what every parent needs and wants to know about them. The allure starts with brain science, and persuasive design ~ how devices and apps are developed with our human vulnerabilities in mind. Lastly, tips & strategies were shared to support parents to take small, achievable steps towards creating a screen time balance in the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Balancing Act- Screentime & Mental Health<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Thursday, March 23rd, 5:30-7pm at Foothill<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Our second event focused on the key areas meant to support mental health and healthy lifestyle habit development while considering the digital age kids are growing up in. A brief introduction to current statistics related to mental health factors and screentime was shared. One size doesn\u2019t fit all; we discussed the recommended time on devices and the use of apps based on age, and paired that with the risk factors and protective factors that are important for parents to know to create an individualized digital access and wellness plan for their child. An overview of a child with healthy use was presented, along with yellow flags\/time to make changes, and red flags\/time to act. Part 2 was completed by sharing support & educational resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our final event focused on educating parents on the \u2018training wheels\u2019 that are critical to ensuring children\u2019s online safety and security and prepare them to learn healthy habits related to the use of devices and apps.

We wrapped up by talking about the important tips for success, as well as share the common \u201cget arounds\u201d that children discover to override parental controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
