How to Protect Sleep, Attention, and Family Relationships

January 17, 2020 By Michael Brzezowski

How to Protect Sleep, Attention, and Family Relationships

Common Sense Media has great tips on how to help  devices from ruining your child’s sleep, attention, and family relationships.  Here is a video about the problem and here is a link for more information.
  • Guard bedtime like a mama bear. Do whatever it takes to make sure your kids are getting a good night’s sleep. Try these tips or use these settings to turn off kids’ phones at night.
  • Make screen-time rules. Figure out how much screen time is right for your family — and stick to your rules.
  • Enable screen-limiting settings. iPhone users can set the features in Screen Time; Google users can download the Family Link app to control kids’ phones.
  • Resist distractions. Learn a few easy hacks to make your phone less appealing.
  • Understand the tricks of the trade. Knowing how companies manipulate you and your kids into spending more time online can help you recognize when you’re falling into their trap.
  • Train yourself to focus. Kids and parents can use these apps to practice concentrating, prepare for bed, and calm the mind.
