Description

In a world filled with smartphones, tablets, gaming systems, and streaming platforms, managing your child’s screen time can feel overwhelming. This course is designed to help parents and caregivers set clear, healthy boundaries around technology while teaching children how to be responsible digital citizens. You’ll start by understanding how screen use impacts brain development, behavior, sleep, attention span, and emotional regulation across different age groups. The course then explores the types of screen time—passive vs. interactive, educational vs. entertainment—and how to evaluate content quality and age appropriateness. You’ll learn practical techniques for setting daily limits, creating tech-free routines (like screen-free dinners and bedtime), and using parental controls effectively. Strategies are provided for dealing with digital tantrums, screen addiction, and peer pressure related to social media and gaming. You’ll also explore how to model healthy tech use, encourage offline play, and support digital literacy and safety. Whether your child is a toddler watching cartoons or a teen navigating social media, this course helps you take a balanced, proactive approach to technology that supports your child’s wellbeing, learning, and real-world connections.
