This quote from @jonathanhaidt's newest book, The Anxious Generation, is a big reason why we do what we do over here at Screen Sanity. Kids are being overprotected in the real world and under-protected when it comes to smartphones, internet access, video games, online predators and other virtual dangers.

Haidt covers so many important topics, many related to how screens have changed how our kids develop and engage with the world. And he leaves his readers with two invitations — speak up and link up.

We encourage you to start a conversation around screentime this week. Be curious and honest with a parent, neighbor or teacher. Then, decide to make a change — together. The Screen Sanity Parent Night Kit is the perfect way to speak up and link up. We are the first generation of parents navigating these challenges, and we can’t do it alone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Helping your child build healthy digital habits as

Helping your child build healthy digital habits as they are introduced to a new device is a journey. We’ve created the Smarter Start Toolkit in partnership with @uscellular so you don’t have to navigate that journey alone. You’ll have everything you need in one place to make sure you and your child are off to a great start. Get your free download at the link in bio.

It’s World Sleep Day! We talk often about how our sleep is impacted by our phones. Notifications are waking our kids (and us!) up often, interrupting our circadian rhythms. But did you know that how we wake up and interact with technology can also impact our brains function first thing in the morning?

Check out the slides for how you can maximize your creativity and protect your body from a stress response first thing in the morning.
