A special message for our concerned parent visitors: You got this! Being a "good parent" means different things to different people, but it's the most important job you get to do-- and only once chance per child to do your best!
You have the power to make healthy digital choices in your home for your children,
and it's easier than you think!
The growing culture of disrespect, family disconnect, digital addictions, mental health struggles make it clear parents must do something. But conflicting advice about what is safe, how much to allow, how to monitor, AND how it impacts YOUR child is incredibly frustrating for most parents! You are NOT alone in following your instinct that there MUST be a better way. Without government protections and biased advice from those furthing the Big Tech narrative to keep using "with caution", it's up to parents and our communities to help youth stay safe.
Becoming well educated on the topic from unbiased sources trusted by Screen Time Clinic® is an essential step in the right direction.
Knowledge is power. Research shows children who spend less time online have greater brain functioning and social skills. No amount of leisure time has been proven safe for youth due to the highly visual graphics of cartoons for littles and addictive design of video games and social media. The negative emotional effects of social media and gaming takes a serious toll on all ages but under 25 are the most susceptible to overuse. As children become older and then carry these habits onto adulthood, it becomes painfully clear the gradual increase of time in front of screens that once seemed harmless is causing problematic behavior and stealing time away from important activities humans of all ages should be enjoying with peers and family.
Let's rethink "daily allowances" and "what everyone is doing" and do better.
The key to a healthy, well balanced life free from digital addictions and other disabilities stemming from neurological damage while young, is limiting screen time from a birth, using it only as a a mindful tool as they get older, not for recreation and social purposes. If you have older teens, being intentional about teaching ways to reduce time and focus on real life relationships and activities is essential.
Most parents are rightfully still unclear of guidelines or find it hard to implement a safe plan on their own because BIG TECH wants us to believe it's a necessary part of life. The science and correlation between screens and Autism symptoms, behavior disorders, and low cognition from media overstimulation are clear. It's NOT too EARLY or late to make change, you can reclaim your life by design. WE CAN HELP YOUR TRIBE.
