Screenwise
Screenwise offers a realistic and optimistic perspective on how to thoughtfully guide kids in the digital age.
“Raising kids in the digital age can feel like being stuck on a roller coaster with no endpoint. Screenwise takes the focus off of parental control and places it on parental understanding. By meeting kids where they are and learning to navigate technology together, parents can help their kids build healthy tech habits that will last a lifetime.” —Dr. Katie Hurley, LCSW, author of No More Mean Girls
