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?

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.

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.

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.
