Sarah’s Mom Tips – Social Media Addiction

/ Sarah Janisse Brown / Leave a comment

MOM Tips for getting control of your social media “addiction” so you can focus more on your kids.

1. Turn off all notification sounds that alert you to check your phone.

2. Don’t keep your phone on you. Set it somewhere where you can hear it ring if someone calls.  When you actually have time to intentionally connect with friends on social media, make sure your kids are content, then go get your phone.

3. Go directly to the groups where your friends are and skip the news feed. It wastes the most time.

4. Decide how many conversations you will join, then stop. Put your phone away.

Sarah’s Mom Tips – Digital Devices

/ Sarah Janisse Brown / 2 Comments

Q. How do you keep your kids from misusing digital devices?

A. When kids have Tablets and Kindles they often disappear into their own digital world.

We use devices like these as educational tools, but the kids use them together, not alone.

My kids have learned to snuggle, bond and share their Kindle. They are encouraged to use it in the Family Room, and play together. If they misuse the device it goes away.
