With screens and devices becoming integral to learning, socializing, and entertainment, parents face the challenge of setting boundaries while supporting their child’s development. This workshop provides crucial tools, research-based insights, and hands-on strategies to help parents make informed, balanced decisions about when and how to introduce technology.

Workshop Goals:

By the end of this workshop, parents will:

• Feel confident in introducing technology to their children at the right times and in the right ways.
• Be equipped with tools to foster safe and positive technology use for their family.
• Develop a clear family technology philosophy and actionable plan that aligns with their values and lifestyle.

Why did our team design this workshop?

Habit Mantra primarily works with adolescents and their parents. The data and insights that the team gained during working with teens led to the conclusion that the children’s relationship with technology plays a key role, be it academics, health, or personal life.

This relationship needs to be healthy and safe. During teen years, it is very difficult for the parents and guardians to regulate the use of screens, so we decided to spread the awareness among parents of children below 10 and give them strategies and tools to set up healthy tech environment at home.

When children are as young as 3, parents can set the tone at home, teach their kids how to regulate their screen use and help them build boundaries. It can save them a lot of trouble when their kids enter their rebellious teen years. This workshop is based on rigorous research of international level and the inputs provided by parents.
