How Not to Screw Up Your Kids21 Heinä 2021

Managing Tech and Digital Devices

This is such a huge topic so I am going to try to cover as much as I can so I can give all of you, whether you have a 2 year old all the way up to a 22 year old, some useful, practical advice to start using today.

To keep things nice and simple this episode is for you if…..

You haven’t yet parted with an electronic device and you want to know how to best set the right ground rules.
Your child already has a tablet, mobile phone, gaming console and you are pulling your hair out trying to manage their time on it!
You feel you have lost complete control over the use of devices - they’re in bedrooms at night, they’re on them all the time, you are constantly arguing over them, and you just can’t see a way forward

Here are the highlights:

{1:41} Tech is part of our children's lives

{2:33} Children do what they see, not what we say

{3:32} Set some ground rules

{6:30} Set up family check-ins

{8:41} Don't make tech the enemy

{9:48} Reward good choices

{11:37} Agree on the rules... and stick to them

{13:55} What are the consequences of breaking rules?

{17:40} Communicating this with your children
