📱 Digital Wellbeing Week 💬

Most youth are using technology in positive ways—staying connected, learning, and expressing themselves. Digital Wellbeing Week (May 18–22) is a great opportunity to build on those strengths and support healthy, balanced screen use at home.

💬 Start the conversation:

Ask your child how they use their devices and what they enjoy online
Set shared expectations around screen time, sleep, and tech-free moments
Model healthy habits as a family

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Stay informed and supported:
Explore tips, resources, and research from Children and Screens:

Together, we can support the healthy digital habits our students are already building.

We address today’s most compelling questions about media’s impact on child development through interdisciplinary dialogue, objective, scientific research, and information-sharing.
