Managing screen time is one of the biggest challenges parents today face. There are several Tech Talk Tuesdays that offer parents support and practical steps they can take.

Some tips to keep in mind:

• Have an electronic curfew — a set time to put away electronic devices
• Have a charging station away from the bedroom
• Set time limits for screen activities like gaming and social media
• Use screen time management functions and apps
