Tips for Extending Digital Wellness to Your Home

Set up accounts with your child.

Have open access to your child’s accounts from the beginning.

Game with your child.

Develop media literacy together.

Children love to be experts and to share their expertise with others, particularly when they can teach their parents something.If they are playing social games, such as Roblox, Fortnite, or Minecraft, you can ask them to introduce you to their friends and to tell you more about them and how they met

Discuss with your child why they want to use these media, what your concerns are, and why you have those concerns.

Co-engagement with media with your child offers an opportunity to build their skills in critically thinking about what they are seeing.

When you start your child with a new device or platform, ask them to share their passwords with you. Talk with them about how their online behaviors can always be seen by others.

Tips for Extending Digital Wellness to Your Home

Address cyber bullying and other unhealthy behaviors.

Support critical decision making skills.

Model healthy and appripraite behaviors.

Engage in social media only when your child is ready.

Talk through your own decision-making processes Let them make safe mistakes.

Put down your own devices, preferably in another room, during mealtimes, before bed, and while engaged in conversations While they may only hear 1% or what you say, they hear 100% of what you do.

You should talk with your child on a regular basis about what they are seeing and hearing both online and in person.

While kids 12 and under are technically not allowed on social media, research indicates that at least a third of pre-adolescent children are on sites such as TikTok and Instagram. This should be done with close monitoring; making clear rules with the child; discussing how social media should and should not be used; and remaining open for questions, concerns, and non-judgmental help when the child needs it.

Tips for Extending Digital Wellness to Your Home

Help your child be skeptical of online images and videos.

Be intentional about providing a smartphone.

Seek a balance between the online and natural worlds.

Establish effective learning habits early.

A smartphone offers children nearly unrestricted access to everyone and everything online, however, and should be treated as the powerful tool that it is.Set expectations and milestones for how they can demonstrate they are ready for a smartphone.

Create a quiet, comfortable space with good lighting and no distractions for your child to do school work. Support your child’s effective study habits by setting expectations for use of screens during homework and study time – place phones and tablets in another room, turn off televisions, and set boundaries for how laptops are to be used if they are required for schoolwork.

Co-view social media with your child and talk about what they are seeing and how it makes them feel.

Encourage — and model — outdoor play, sports, art, and reading, as well as mindful, directed digital activities.

Family Social Contract

Create a shared media usage agreement. Sitting down with your child to craft a media use agreement that addresses how everyone in the household uses television, tablets, computers, smartphones, game consoles, and other devices can set expectations and opportunities for using media independently and together Recognizing the difference between recreational screen time and essential screen time is necessary for mapping out realistic and successful media plans.

Additions

• Tangible Takeaway: participate in a “no tech” day together, or encourage a weekly “check in” date where they get ice cream and talk about their digital lives.
• Meet children where they are: situating digital wellness in the students’ authentic contexts made it easier for them to see value in discussing these lessons.
• Use a “No Judgment” Approach: setting up a “no judgment” culture was important.each of us should know that we can choose the degree to which we participate in online activities.
