Special thank you to CHS students for helping teach our kids at CGE about starting healthy tech habits and balancing technology in daily life. Some topics they covered:
- Screen time helps performance in school. How to check for screen time and monitor notifications and distractions
- Putting phone upstairs to charge, or give to parents before bed
- Getting homework done first and putting phone up at dinner time-- try reading or playing outside, a game or extra curricular sports
- It is the kids responsibility, not just the parent- be responsible and proactive
- Designate phone free days, or nights when the whole family puts them away from this time to this time
- Homework before video games- and t
- Dangers of phone use: texting leads to no spelling, it can be addicting and leads to unrealistic expectations for themselves and others, too much social media
