Are you wondering if your family is reinforcing healthy screen time habits?
Consider watching the video linked below and then take some time to reflect.
Is my child:
- Using high-quality and age-appropriate content?
- Having fun and learning when they use tech?

- Connecng socially with family and friends?
- Showing an interest in school and pursuing their hobbies?
