Q: What are the consequences of oversharing online? A: Kids and teens are prone to recklessly sharing information without realizing how their online behavior could affect their future educational and work goals.

Q: Why do I need to know about digital wellness? A: Because nowadays everyone needs to know about it—especially parents. Kids and teens must be taught about digital wellness, as it won’t come naturally to them.

Q: What are the benefits of digital wellness? A: Everyone can benefit from better digital wellness: moms and dads, young professionals, grandparents, kids, or young adults.

Q: How does digital media affect emotional health A: Experts have found the more time spent interacting with apps, the less happy people of all ages tend to be. This is especially true of social media and dating apps.

Q: What are some ways to limit my child’s screen time that don’t feel like punishment? A: Including your child in the process! Explain the goal isn’t to cut them off from their screens but rather to add non-screen activities that are just as fun for balance.

Q: How can I make sure that my kid’s screen time is well-spent? A: One of the best ways of ensuring good screen time is monitoring your child or teen. This will give you a good idea of whether your child is profiting from the activity or is developing a sense of dependency.

Q: Is digital wellness only a concern for people/families with existing problems? A: Nope! We should all be proactive in improving and maintaining our digital wellness.

Q: How much time does the average kid spend looking at screens? A: Well, quite a bit. Teens spent up to nine hours in front of a screen each day.

Q: What is “digital wellness,” anyway? 💻️ A: Digital wellness means actively practicing habits while using tech that will enhance—not harm—social, emotional, mental, and physical health.
