Parenting in the Digital Age is an engaging workshop for parents and carers in schools and organisations, examining how technology is reshaping childhood and influencing young people’s mental health and well-being. Covering smartphones, gaming, social media and screen time, the session provides clear, evidence-based strategies to help families set boundaries, build resilience and encourage healthier digital habits.
For parents of younger children, we advocate delaying the introduction of smartphones and social media to safeguard play, creativity and real-world connections, while offering guidance on when these technologies may be most appropriate. For those with older children, the workshop explores the psychological effects of digital platforms, offering practical advice on managing screen dependency, navigating algorithms, and fostering more intentional engagement with technology.
These sessions equip parents with the knowledge and confidence to establish balanced digital routines and promote digital well-being, ensuring technology supports, rather than dominates, their child’s development.
