PARENT WORKSHOP #1:

Teens & Technology: How to Manage Tech Time at Home

Technology without supervision is not healthy for any young person. Like any addiction, as dependency increases, personal functioning decreases. Kids become more impulsive, moody, or suffer sleep disorders. As hunger for more tech time grows, clashes with parents increase. Setting limits on unhealthy behaviors is a crucial part of good parenting. Taking the role of “guardian of technology” may make you unpopular with your kid, but it is key to preventing tech addiction tendencies. (See the article “Is Your Kid a Tech Addict?”)
