Technology has changed — childhood essentials have not.
Raising kids in the digital age is tricky. We need to introduce tech slowly in age appropriate ways and teach healthy habits. Time on screens can’t be at the expense of what matters most: childhood essentials like sleep, in-person relationships, unstructured play, and time outdoors.

Healthy Tech Use Matters
Technology can be sticky and designed to keep our attention so it’s hard for us to put down our devices.
Young people’s brains are developing until age 25 and brain development is impacted by how kids spend their time, both online and offline.
Screen time can displace activities that are essential to healthy human development - e.g., sleeping, being outdoors, physical activity, and feeling deeply connected to family and friends.
