Are you a parent or carer navigating the challenges of raising children in the digital age? Do you have questions about screen-time limits, social media, phones, and other aspects of digital parenting?
In today's world, technology is central to our children’s lives, offering both opportunities and challenges. It’s crucial to approach digital parenting with intentionality, guiding our children in faith-filled ways. As such, we’re introducing an online course for parents called "Raising Tech-Healthy Humans," in partnership with Daniel Sih from Spacemakers.
Daniel Sih is an award-winning parenting author and TEDx speaker, providing valuable insights for parents with younger children to pre-teens, helping them make wise tech decisions. “Raising Tech-Healthy Humans” is offered complimentary to families at Richmond Christian College. There are fifteen short, interesting videos covering a range of tech-healthy parenting topics such as:
- How do I encourage healthy screen-time limits?
- What is the impact of interactive media on my child's developing brain?
- When and how should I give my child a smartphone?
- How is our technology use a discipleship issue?
- What is the impact of social media on a child’s mental health?
- How do I engage in relationship-forming tech-conversations?
- What can I do to get my kids outdoors to have fun?
- How do we support each other to make healthy tech-decisions as a community?
Each video includes discussion questions for parents to explore together, along with supportive resources such as digital contracts, infographics, and parenting checklists. As this is typically a paid course, Daniel Sih has asked that we refrain from sharing the sign-up link on public social media platforms. However, feel free to invite friends within your relational circles to benefit from these resources. www.raisinghumans.au/cen
