My mission is to help educate and empower families to develop healthy tech habits with their children from an early age.  I firmly believe that the habits formed in childhood lay the groundwork for balanced technology use in adolescence and beyond, enriching family bonds along the way.  Through curated resources, informed discussions, and practical guidance, I want to serve as a beacon for those seeking serenity and balance  in an increasingly digital world. Whether you’re a concerned parent, a curious observer, or someone navigating their own digital habits, I believe I can offer a wealth of insights and support. Join me as we delve into the complexities of our digital landscape, forging pathways toward more mindful tech consumption and stronger connections with ourselves, our loved ones and in all of our relationships.

• Today’s technologies are designed to be addictive.

• Young children and their brains are most at risk from technology use including phones, tablets, video games and computers.  Tablets and iPads can even be considered gateways to problematic smartphone habits later.

• The habits around technology established when children are young set the stage for a healthier and more peaceful adolescence and adulthood.

• Reading is one of the best anecdotes for counteracting attention-hijacking by technology for both kids and grown-ups.  There are other activities as well.

• We cannot address the issues of children’s use of technology without addressing the way grown-ups are using technology – ie. phones, social media, etc. and the way certain behaviors have become normalized.

• Awareness is the first step to making any change in behavior.
