Children endure a crisis of information overload, presenting a problem for parents and educators. Here is my solution.

There Can Be Boundaries

Agreement on Boundaries and Limits

Capitalize on boredom and use simple verbal strategies to avoid bargaining with children about device time.

Play is Fun Work

Participating in Play

Play is the work of youth, and lots of learning can take place in an unstructured environment supported by technology — almost like therapy.

Balance Is Possible

Integrating Technology

Adopt a “diet” of moderation with technology, while using the tricks and tools of software developers against them.

We Can Always Stop

Planning for a Good Transition

Get ready to continue the “attention momentum” of device time into the real world, with some fun ways to jog children out of a funk.

Read and judge for yourself about the apps and content that I am curating. This is just the beginning.

Great Apps for Kids

Discover a framework to choose active over passive apps, educational before entertainment experiences, and engage with children through play.

I can only tell you that this “MAP IT” framework has worked for me, and so I feel the need to share it with you:

Model, agree, participate, integrate, and transition.

If you are struggling with issues around technology with your children, try it. Let us discuss together as a group what works and what needs refinement.

Contact me or comment here if you would like to arrange a talk or workshop on this topic. Find me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.

Let us draw this map together.
