What would help

0 / 2 answered›

18. What would make it easier to make better decisions about technology for this child?

Select all that apply.

Clearer research on what the risks actually are Specific recommendations by age A community of parents to talk to openly Better policies at school that make home enforcement easier Scripts for talking to this child about it Coordinated limits across our school community — group chats, social media, and in-person norms — so no child has to be the only one left out Better guidance on how to use technology productively with this child, not just how to limit it More technology education at school — coding, digital literacy, AI understanding Nothing — I feel equipped already

19. Is there anything else you want us to know about this child's experience with technology?

Share your family's honest experience.
