Kids and adults feel addicted to their technology -- and it's no wonder: Every day, we're bombarded with virtual notifications, autoplay, feedback loops of likes and follows, and other tactics designed to keep us all glued to our devices. It's called digital manipulation, and it's on the rise. Educators and health professionals are increasingly concerned about technology's overwhelming presence in our daily lives, so how can parents do their part? 

Join Common Sense to learn about how to use our devices more intentionally, avoid the risks of constant connectivity, and focus on being great digital role models for our kids.

Parenting in the Smartphone Age: An online Digital Wellbeing seminar

Today we had parents and caring adults from across the country join our online seminar, Parenting in the Smartphone Age. We covered insights into the digital wellbeing health crisis we're currently facing, and explored the Purposeful Seven Step Method for cultivating wellbeing for yourself, your family, and your community:

1. NOTICE how your you and your family are investing your time/attention

2. IDENTIFY the unconscious habits that leave you feeling less than great.

3. SPECIFY the values that represent a positive shift towards habits you wish to cultivate instead.

4. ENVISION a plan of action for practicing those values in everyday life.

5. ACT on your plan. Trial and optimization. Practice creates healthy habits.

6. ENROLL your spouse and your children in the process and creation of boundaries.

7. ALIGN on healthy norms with your community and support each other in the process.

It was a powerful session based on insights from parents, educators, and mental health professionals we've worked with at the forefront of this issue. We're so excited to be sharing this with you.

Join our next online session so you can learn how to take healthy action for yourself and your family in the age of distractive technology.
