As the old saying goes, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”

That’s why we created our Values Exercise – to help start family conversations about what you each find most important. It’s as simple as 1,2,3.

1. Download and print the values flashcards, then discuss as a family. Pick two to four values that your family will try to maintain, even in the toughest of situations.

2. Hang them up. Put your chosen cards somewhere you’ll see them often to remind your family of what you’re striving for together.

3. Check in regularly. Use these values to start conversations about how your daily choices support your values…or get in the way of them.

Kids are always paying attention, absorbing the behaviors they see modeled in the world. They are internalizing our habits, practices and beliefs through our behaviors — including what we do and don’t post on social media. How do we honor them through our online presence? By setting, sharing and respecting boundaries.

Need an example of tech for good? This is it. Scott Rice, writer-director from Austin, Texas, along with Stray Vista Studios just released a new film titled “Treasure Imagination”.

In this film, a city-boy is distraught when his beloved tablet is taken away from him by his mom. But when he finds a mysterious fedora left on a park bench, his temptation to place it on his head leads to adventure.

We are so honored to have been mentioned in the credits of Treasure Imagination alongside our mission statement, to create a world where kids are more captivated by life than screens. Whether it starts with a fedora, a blanket fort or a cardboard box, invite imagination into your child’s life today.

We've linked the film in our bio and you can find more on our blog. Enjoy!

If you've been around for a while, you know we love @goaronow! Their resources align perfectly with our mission - to create a world where kids are more captivated by life, than screens.

Which is why we are excited to celebrate them today and share that you can now download the Aro app TODAY (even if you don't own an Aro box!) The Aro app is an incredible screentime solution that allows families to build the habit of putting their phones down. This in turn creates more time to engage, connect, create and simply be present.

Simply download the app (link in bio) to start your free trial today.
