Have you noticed how frequently you go to grab your phone?
Whether it's to look up a recipe, text a friend, check social media, look up something online, google the definition of a word... etc... If you were to count how many times you get on your phone every day, you might be shocked. Have you ever had your phone die, and you forget and you grab your phone over and over again because you keep forgetting it's not charged? It is time we acknowledge how addicting screens are! If they are addicting for adults, think of how addicting they are for little brains, that haven't fully developed! We need to help our little people have a healthy relationship with technology...
We've seen the statistics... Depression, ADHD, Suicide, Anxiety have all been linked to too much social media... Our young people need to know that technology can be fun, but it can also be very harmful to your self esteem, your mental health, and your relationships in real life.
With Mindful Family Tech, I feel so passionate about helping families, young people, adults, and empty-nesters, find healthy and MINDFUL relationships with TECH, and together we can figure out how to thrive in life without needing tech in your hands all the time.
If you've landed on my page, you are worried about the future of social media and tech with our children.
As a mom of 5, I am very passionate about keeping my kids safe, and yours. Whether thats keeping them safe from online predators, or preventing tech addiction, my mission is to continue to #SavetheKids as Collin Kartcher started.
