Teachers deserve all the love today (and every day

Teachers deserve all the love today (and every day!)

One surprising way you can serve your child's teacher? By supporting your child's sleep, allowing them to be present and alert in the classroom.

Sleep is essential to the mental and physical health of our children. If you haven't already, it's time to get devices out of the bedroom. Many kids are waking up to every single notification they receive in the middle of the night which can severely impact the quality of sleep they are getting. While this can affect almost every facet of their lives, it can be especially evident in the classroom.

This year, make a change for your teacher. For your child. For the digital health of your family.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Now, more th

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Now, more than ever before we have significant data on how time on screens and social media is affecting mental health, especially in adolescence.

As a parent, you have a role in supporting the mental health of your children by supporting their digital health. Here are a few ways you can do this:

1️⃣ Start with yourself. Acknowledge your own relationship with technology and explore ways you can improve your own digital health. As your child hears you process this and put it into action, it can have a significant impact on how they approach screentime and technology.

2️⃣ As a family, create device-free zones. We encourage families to start with bedrooms, dinner tables and bathrooms.

3️⃣ Talk open and often about things they might be experiencing in the online world. Be curious and interested alongside them. Is there a new app that came out? Ask them if they've heard of it and what they think. Is there a new viral challenge that could be potentially dangerous? Ask them if they've heard of it and if they know anyone who has done it. Take advantage of every single open door you can find, whether it's a new study that came out about screentime and mental health, a new social media platform, or a new trend. When topics like these become conversations vs. lectures, your child knows that they have a place to go when they have questions or find themselves in a situation where they need your help.

4️⃣ Link arms with your community. We need each other, both parents and kids. When you can find like-minded families who are interested in digital health, you're preventing your child from feeling like they're "the only one". You'll also be investing in a strong support system when it's time to make decisions in regards to devices and technology. Parents need each other for both the wins and the challenges.

If you're ready to start a conversation about digital health in your community, check out our Parent Night Kit. Gather your people, and we've taken care of the rest. Learn more at the link in bio.

Last week, we stood among 50 glowing phone screens - each one showing the face of a child lost to the harms of social media.

The Lost Screen Memorial, created by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s non profit organization, The Archewell Foundation, is a powerful call for change. These children, ages 11 to 19, were lost to cyberbullying, dangerous content, online drug access, and more. Their parents shared their stories with one wish: that no other family would suffer the same loss.

At Screen Sanity, we were honored to stand alongside them. We are committed to listening, learning and fighting for safer digital spaces for all kids.

Last week, our team attended “The Lost Screen Memorial,” an installation and memorial created by The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Network for children who have lost their lives as a result of social media.

We implore you to read one of the many stories shared as a way to honor the families who have experienced devastating loss, and to become more away for the real dangers that exist online. Find these stories and ways to take action at the link in bio.

Spring is the perfect time for a clean start. And

Spring is the perfect time for a clean start. And don’t worry, you can keep the feather duster in the closet for this one. Here are three simple ways to spring clean your digital world.

1️⃣ Mute Your Notifications | Pay attention to the apps that send you regular notifications. Then, choose which notifications you actually NEED and which just add unnecessary clutter and distraction to your day.

2️⃣ Delete Unused Apps | Identify which apps you use frequently, and which are collecting digital dust. Regardless of storage space, apps can also take up unnecessary brain space. Be generous in waving goodbye to what you don’t need and feel comfort knowing if you change your mind, it’s an easy fix.

3️⃣ Create Device-free Zones | A great place to start? Tables and bedtimes. Phone-free tables invite conversation and phone-free bedtimes invite…sleep! Create a “phone home” where devices can live when they’re not in use. This helps build accountability within your family and ensures everyone is on the same page.
