I’m a very hands on, present parent.

My wife is too, but we can’t avoid her being exposed to tech. She is already always reaching for cell phones as is.

My wife and I have found that teaching self-control while starting to use technology has been effective. I always try to have an activity or a game when I want them to put it down instead of telling them it’s time to be done or setting a lockout timer on the device. I want them to feel they have a choice to put it down and do something different.

That’s a good approach.

Instead of telling our daughter, “no” we also redirect her in a positive direction, like, “let’s do it this way”

Hope to navigate parenting in the best way possible, but I can’t shield her from the world entirely, only guide her to make better choices.
