Recent research has shown that tech use in kids has the potential to lead to early onset dementia and Alzheimerās. Brain imaging has shown shrinking in the brains of toddlers and teens who use excessive screen time.
As a parent you can limit and restrict screen time, offer activities that are cognitively stimulating and challenging as well as promote off-screen reading and avoidance of sources of ābrain rotā
If your kids already have smartphones you can manage their usage with OurPact so they can build healthy digital habits.

Smart Tech is Dumb for Kids.
Studies have shown that once technology enters the classroom, whether itās educationally sanctioned or not, kidsā learning suffers. Studies even show that Gen-Z is the 1st generation to have fallen back in every cognitive measure including memory, executive function and even general IQ.
Teachers have seen this firsthand, as programs have been implemented to grant children the free use of things like Chromebook laptops for school work, the distractions begin. Video games, YouTube and cyberbullying quickly replace the promise of next generation learning.
The screens arenāt the answer. As schools around the country reject tech and return to traditional ways of teaching, they are seeing students return to their curious and eager to learn (and even rambunctious) ways.

Did you know that Craig from Craigslist is a real guy?
Also, heās rich⦠but heās trying not to be.
Craig Newmark is one of 250 millionaires and billionaires who have pledged to give away their wealth by the time they die or via their wills. Heās donated to causes that help veterans and their families, promote cyber security and protect independent journalism.
He claims to have gotten āaccidentally richā with creating the Craigslist website and is trying to do some good with his wealth.
We already know that too much screen time can cause sleep, attention, and health issues for kids while stunting their development, but with screens everywhere, itās an uphill battle.
Kids learn best when interacting with the people in their world around them. Physical play and active communication are the best ways to beat the screens.
According to health care providers:
Children under 2 should have no screen time except family video calls
Ages 2-5 should be limited to 1 hour a day of high-quality content, with parental guidance
Ages 6-18: recreational screen use should not exceed 2 hours daily, while promoting outdoor play, reading, and social activities
Itās also recommended to create screen-free zones during meals, study hours, and bedtime. The best way to get kids on board is to practice what you preach. parents who model healthy behaviors have an easier time helping kids develop better habits.

Instagram has the ability to track what you're doing even when you're not using the app. It collects data on your activity on certain sites and apps BUT thereās a solution. Hereās how you can stop it. In Instagram, tap the hamburger icon, go to the Accounts Center. Tap on information and permissions, then go to activity off Meta Technologies.
This is where you can find āmanage future activityā and turn it off. This prevents Instagram from tracking what you do outside the app.
Now, you can go back and check Clear Previous Activity to delete any data they've already collected about you.
This is a super quick way to retain some privacy on Meta. Like and share this with anyone you know is concerned about their privacy.

Sextortion is a rising serious threat. Predators use deception, gain trust, and coerce explicit images. Educate kids to be wary of moving convos to other platforms, never share compromising pics or videos, and if it happens, report to law enforcement.
