Welcome to our first Tech Talk Tuesday!
This week, how about a tech inventory? Ask each other about what you are doing on your devices on a given day. It could be fun to have everyone write on a piece of paper their estimated use on things like email, Twitter, Snapchat, games, or Instagram. Then have the other family members guess what they think the person wrote down.
The reason a tech inventory is good is that one of the key things we should be fostering in ourselves and our kids is a consciousness about tech in our lives--call it mindfulness, awareness, it is all the same thing. We all know it is easier said then done--our tech lives can get very automatic.
Let us know what you learned doing your tech inventory by using the form above. Any surprises
As well as our weekly blog, we publish videos like this one every week on the Screenagers YouTube channel

I have one goal with this week’s blog: Inspire you to make one and only one New Year’s Resolution about screen time rules. Maybe that has to do with your own behavior with screen time, maybe with your kids, family, or even work. And I’ll share with you my one-screen time rule for 2024.

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog and encouraged people to share with youth in their lives whatever small change they made and to share with me as well so that I could share with you! And that is what I am doing today. I received some great responses. Here are a few examples people shared with me:
