Modern parenting is tough, especially when it comes to navigating a balance between providing kids with access to technology and maintaining a healthy amount of screen time.
As a parent, how do you know the difference between if your kids are tech savvy enough that they won’t be left behind? To understanding what is the right amount of exposure to technology and when have they had enough screen time?
Lucky for us our special guest, Christopher Hogbin, Global Educational Strategy of 3P Learning, who deliver online learning programs such as Mathletics, Readiwriter and Reading Eggs, will share expert tips today with and an easy approach that you can apply at home to help navigate this.
We ask Chris questions including:
- As a dad and a high school maths teacher, do you think children are better or worse with technology in their life?
- How do you see children continue to benefit from technology? Equally, how do you see that it has or has hindered their lives?
- What challenges are you seeing parents face when it comes to screen time with their kids?
- Why is It important for parents to see and understand that video games, such as Minecraft as an example and many others can be educational for kids?
- How do you associate video games with the dangers of excessive screen time?
- I understand a recent UNSW study provided some answers to the ideal amount of screen time. Could you please tell us more?
- What is the ideal amount of screen time? Is there a simple and effective approach?
- What is a screen time budget? How can parents set up a successful budget and how can it help families?
- Do you think that a screen time budget is much more effective than slashing screen time or leaving kids to their own devices (literally)?
