Revealed:Technology secrets for parents wanting to reign in screen time.
It was spring ’20 and COVID-19 was just starting its reign over our lives. I needed to assess the tools we had and the goals we wanted to accomplish. Compounding our goals was summer vacation looming, and unknown return to school in the fall. There were a number of gyrations because of spring break, returning to school, summer vacation, and then a return to school. Let’s fast forward to the fall when on-line school started again. Note: Our kids go to Valor Public Schools, and they started back earlier than Austin Independent School District or Dripping Springs ISD. Our goals at first were simple, get my son on-line as quickly as possible in order to support his education. Our youngest was in pre-school, so we had some weekly assignments we could do at home. Since then, we’ve realized that unchecked amount of #screentime creates an “undeserved sense of self-entitlement” in our kids. #ios12 #parents #parenting #children #backtoschool #teachers #family #innovation #leadership #education #
