Sometimes all it takes is a question to spark conversation about our relationship with devices. If we had a hall of fame for questions, this one would be in it. Why? Because when you begin the device journey with your child and they are clear on things like "who owns the phone" this can have major benefits down the road.

Check out these talking points to learn how to lay a healthy foundation for device introduction.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Screen Sanity

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Screen Sanity.

We are so grateful for all those who have stepped bravely into a conversation about digital health. Those who have gathered their community to have a vulnerable conversation about how they're seeing screentime influence their kids. Those who have shared our resources or hosted a Parent Night.

Your actions have a ripple effect. When we come together and believe in a world where kids are more captivated by life than screens, we can begin to impart real change.

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.
