By proactively establishing guidelines tailored to your family's needs and values, you can create a safer and healthier digital environment for your children to thrive in. Ensuring you have the appropriate parental controls and settings in place before encountering challenges with your children using devices or accessing unwanted apps is the simplest and most effective approach to managing their digital behaviour.

If your children's use of technology no longer aligns with your family values and you've exhausted all other ideas, it’s time for a digital intervention. We’ll start by working together to come up with clear and consistent rules regarding device usage:

• Limiting screen time

• Specifying which apps and websites are allowed

• How /when children can earn extra privileges

We’ll walk through setting up parental control tools to monitor and manage their digital activities. 

The whole process will use open communication with your children about the reasons behind the intervention and involve them in creating a Technology Agreement.

Remember that consistency, patience, and support are key.

These workshops build upon the foundation of the healthy digital values you previously established in working closely with your children. Parents Plug-in provides guidance and support in navigating the numerous challenges that may arise in the future. We'll work together to establish long-term digital goals while establishing the proper digital habits to promote self-regulation skills preparing children to flourish in the new Digital Era.
