Technology Tip Sheet Avoid any screen time until 2; severely limit until 5 Delay smartphones, social media use and online gaming until high school Try “single-tasking” instead of multi-tasking when doing homework No screens and electronic devices in the bedroom Avoid interactive screen use within 1 -2 hours of bedtime Avoid using screen time as a reward for anything Average less than 2 hours a day of all entertainment screen time

Technology Tip Sheet No first-person shooter video games, avoid media violence No online pornography. Use Blocking Software Use a flip phone until kids have demonstrated they can follow the rules Limit social media and video games to one hour per day or less Take vacations without gaming or social media Establish screen-free activities: meals, conversations and commutes to school Try the one in/one out rule: For every hour of screen time, participate in an hour of exercise, time in nature, or a spiritual practice

Technology Tip Sheet Exercise, religious services, reading print material and spending time in person with friends protects against unhappiness Make sure kids spend time each day in down-time, true relaxation or daydreaming without the use of electronics Learn about how screen time affects your brain and emotional health Know the warning signs of electronic screen syndrome and addiction Try a whole family experiment: take the 30 day “Technology Fast”
