Are there any parents out there who have created a system around technology and children that both honors the importance of technology in kids lives while also honoring the importance of healthy boundaries around their technology use? I need this to be less of a power struggle in our home. I fear one day Ill look back on Chases tween years and summarize our time together with: we argued about device time. To be clear: Im not interested in all or nothing solutions. I WANT my kids to understand and navigate the new world of technology and social media with confidence. I just dont want their lives to be consumed by it. I want them to be interested in other things, too. I want to set healthy boundaries and I just dont want to ARGUE about it anymore. We are the first parenting generation trying to raising Device Kids and so we just need help UNDERSTANDING how to help them healthfully and safely navigate this internet world that they are, indeed, inheriting. Its scary to us because its DIFFERENT from our childhoods. And I know that different is not bad. Every generation of parents thinks their kids generation is going to hell in a hand basket and its never,ever true. We just need help ushering our kids into this Brave New World, so that we can be empowered instead of afraid and resistant. Who are the experts in this kids/technology field who can offer us practical, wise, measured help? Ill invite them to talk to us.In the meantime- what do you do to avoid power struggles in your home over technology?What is working? What isnt? Love, G
