In a world where children are "growing up digital," it's important to help them learn healthy

concepts of digital use and citizenship. Parents play an important role in teaching these

skills.

Tips to Help Families Manage the Ever Changing Digital Landscape:

Make your own family media use plan. Media should work for you and within your family values and parent-

ing style. When used thoughtfully and appropriately, media can enhance daily life. But when used inappropri-

ately or without thought, media can displace many important activities such as face-to-face interaction, fam-

ily-time, outdoor-play, exercise, unplugged downtime and sleep.

Treat media as you would any other environment in your child's life. The same parenting guidelines apply in

both real and virtual environments.

Set limits; kids need and expect them. Know your children's friends, both online and off. Know what platforms,

software, and apps your children are using, what sites they are visiting on the web, and what they are doing

online.

Set limits and encourage playtime. Media use, like all other activities, should have reasonable limits. Unstruc-

tured and offline play stimulates creativity. Make unplugged playtime a daily priority, especially for very young

children. And—don't forget to join your children in unplugged play whenever possible.

Be a good role model. Teach and model kindness and good manners online. Because children are great

mimics, limit your own media use. In fact, you'll be more available for and connected with your children if

you're interacting, hugging and playing with them rather than simply staring at a screen.

Warn children about the importance of privacy and the dangers. Teens need to know that once content is

shared with others, they will not be able to delete or remove it completely. They may also not know about or

choose not to use privacy settings.
