Screen Sanity’s Plugged-in Planner series is broken into three different phases of digital childhood: preschool, elementary school and middle school. As kids grow and change, these parent workbooks unpack the different considerations and challenges of each age, while offering language parents can use to mentor and guide their kids through the online world.  

The Elementary School Plugged-in Planner covers a variety of digital health topics, including preparing children for online hazards, creating healthy screentime rhythms and engaging with technology in higher quality ways. Screen Sanity meets the reader where they are in the parenting journey, and helps them reflect, prioritize and envision a digital road map for the years ahead. 

What They're Saying

Screen Sanity’s program was a wonderful way to get information about kids and technology in a supportive environment.

Whitney, Missouri

Any amount of time spent in this material will, with certainty, make a difference if you are processing how to be intentional with your kids in the world of technology.

Emily T.

We had been struggling with ending gaming and lots of fights. I was able to print [the Video Game Decision Tree] off and go over it with my kids as our “new protocol”. This took all the emotion out of it.

Parent

As we came into the new year and saw our daughters, son in laws and granddaughters consumed by their phone screens we knew we had to start making changes and we found this group to be a great place to find ideas!

Michelle W., Tennessee

A really good, practical way to think strategically about this topic. I wish I had this resource a year ago – would have saved some heartburn!

Scott A., Maryland

This was one of the best webinars I have seen. Simple, understandable, reachable, realistic. Really, really wonderful.

Parent

As a dad of four kids, screens are an increasingly big topic in our home. I’m so grateful a friend invited us to join a Screen Sanity group. The material was deeply relevant and applicable for our family’s values.
