5. In Summary Being a digi-parent doesn’t have to mean being a digital expert. Just being aware of what’s going on, and being prepared with a few up-front rules can go a long way towards making the most of life with your kids in our amazing new world.

6. Technology can help your family stay connected. From messaging the grandparents overseas to texting to say netball practice is finished, technology has transformed and simplified connecting with family. Digital technology is now firmly woven into the fabric of modern family life. While it can feel challenging to get your head around it at first, with a bit of practice, patience and simply working to the same principles as your usual parenting style you can get ahead with it!

7. Learning is Fun This generation could become the smartest yet. After all, they have all the information in the world literally at their fingertips. And they’ll be using it in exciting new ways.

While we can only imagine what these jobs might be, it’s a pretty safe bet they’ll be technology based. Its simple to stay involved so you can be part of their future.

Just like in a big city, there are good places and not so good places. It’s pretty simple and a little common sense goes a long way! Digi-Savvy parents teach their kids the same rules online as they do in real life: avoid strangers, don’t give out personal information, and talk to a trusted adult if you see anything that makes you uncomfortable.

12. Screen Time

13. How Much Screen Time? Screen time is really important to young people. After all, it’s a huge part of their social life. Just as kids of the 1970s and 80s would spend hours hogging the family landline, kids of today are spending that time chatting online. Screen time must be balanced alongside the usage during learning time at school. But being a digi-savvy parent means having a chat about screen time, and setting a few expectations and boundaries.
