Parents who raise 'smart, well-rounded' kids don't use these 4 phrases, says tech education expert—and what to do instead (via CNBCMakeIt)
at the intersection of technology and education, it wasn't until my wife and I became parents that we realized how unprepared we were to help our kids thrive in an increasingly digital world.
Here are four common screen-time statements they don't use — along with examples of what to say instead:This statement may be the most common of all, but it's a confusing message for a child. If so, instead of communicating that you have a problem with the amount of time they're spending on a device, reframe with a compelling reason to do something"I noticed you haven't spent any time with your family since you've gotten home from school; let's do that for a bit so we can balance out how you spend your day."This statement also focuses on the amount of time your kids are spending on a single digital activity.
The statement above might lead to a conversation about the value of different apps installed on the device, and whether they give a better return on the invested attention. Parents could ask something like, "What other activities do you want to do with the time you spend on your phone today?"This is an especially confusing message if the suggestion for a replacement activity is to read a book.
