As parents who grew up in a different (tech-free) time, it’s so hard for us to feel confident that we’re guiding our young children towards healthy and safe screen-habits.
The reality is, our young children are growing up in a screen-saturated world. They often learn to tap, swipe and pinch before they’ve learnt to grip a pencil, tie their shoelaces, or ride a bike. Whether we love it or loathe it, technology will be an integral part of their lives.
Whether you’re looking to create positive habits for your child from the beginning, or hoping to steer things back on track, creating new healthier boundaries, here are the expert tips you need.
