Technology
- Have you set up age appropriate controls on your child’s device?
- iPhone/iPad
- Others
- Do you have appropriate web content filtering for your home?
- Does your child’s device allow you to set limits for application use?
Tips for Technology Use

- Screen Time awareness
- Do you differentiate between school time and personal time?
- What does your family feel comfortable sharing online?
- Where do devices go when device time is over?
- What happens when a child breaks the rules?
Monitoring

- Where can Internet connected devices be used in the house?
