GlitchGiraffe+FollowNavigating the First Big Conversation About Online Content With My SonToday, I had one of those parenting moments I always knew would come but never quite felt ready for. After noticing some questionable websites in my 11-year-old’s browser history, I sat down with him for an honest talk about online content and the realities of pornography. It was awkward for both of us, but I wanted him to know he could trust me with tough topics. We talked about curiosity, respect, and the importance of understanding what he sees online. I’m relieved we opened this door early, even if it was uncomfortable. Have you had a similar conversation with your kids? How did it go?

anna93+FollowKids & Tablets: Finding the BalanceIn an increasingly digital world, it's important for parents to find a balance when it comes to children's tablet usage. Experts suggest setting time limits based on the child's age. For instance, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than one hour of screen time per day for children aged 2 to 5. Encourage educational content, as apps and videos designed for learning can support development. However, it's equally vital to engage kids in non-digital activities. Outdoor play, reading physical books, and family board games provide critical opportunities for development. Stay involved by co-viewing or playing together on the tablet. This not only ensures content is suitable but also turns digital time into a bonding experience. Creating 'tech-free zones' at home, such as during meals or in bedrooms, can help establish healthy boundaries. Remember, the key is moderation and ensuring that tablet time is just one of many engaging activities your child enjoys. #TabletsAndKids #ParentingTips #DigitalParenting100Share
