HOW TO RAISE SCREENSMART KIDS - A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR DIGITAL PARENTING

Dear Fellow Parents,

Do you constantly battle negative self-talk about your child's screen addiction? It starts with a small voice of doubt but quickly becomes a never-ending loop of guilt, shame, and frustration. "Why can't I control my child's screen time?" "Am I a bad parent?" "What if this ruins their future?" It's a vicious cycle that can leave you feeling helpless and defeated.

I know this because I've been there. And I'm tired of seeing other parents suffer the same thing. It's time for us to take control of our thoughts and our children's screen time.

My big why for helping parents like us is simple: our children deserve a better future. They deserve to grow up in a world where they have a healthy relationship with technology, connect with others in meaningful ways, and thrive both online and offline.

But the reality is the current state of screen addiction is deeply unfair. It's unfair to our children struggling to break free from the grips of technology. It's unfair to parents trying their best to navigate this new digital landscape. And it's unfair to our society as a whole, which is facing unprecedented challenges related to mental health, social isolation, and disconnection.

But it doesn't have to be this way. We can create a utopian future where our children are empowered to use technology positively and be productive. A future where we as parents feel confident and in control of our children's screen time. A future where we can break free from negative self-talk and embrace a more positive, compassionate approach to parenting.

So I want to ask you, fellow parent: do you resonate with this message? Are you tired of negative self-talk and the struggle of screen addiction? If so, I invite you to join me on this journey toward a brighter future. Let's take the first step together and raise screen-smart kids.

Sincerely,

Marie Uy Bernadas
