The average kid gets their first smartphone at age 11. By high school, they’re spending seven-plus hours a day on screens. With growing pressure to be constantly online, from social media to group chats, helping kids establish healthy digital habits is crucial for their well-being and development.

Andrea Davis, founder of Better Screen Time and mother of five, has navigated every stage of parenting in the digital age. She joins ParentMap and St John School for a ParentEd Talk on choosing the slow-tech path, strengthening family connection and raising confident, well-adjusted kids.

You’ll learn:

• How to create a family tech plan and introduce screens and social media in a slow, intentional way
• Scripts for talking with kids and teens about digital risks and healthy habits
• Practical tools to help kids develop self-control and values around screen use 

It’s never too late to create a tech-healthy home. Reserve your spot here for the live interactive talk. Follow NewsViews for promo code.
