Kids and screens don't have to be a dangerous combination. Let us help.
Children need your help today. Their world is filled with addictive technology and smart devices that suck up all their time.
In fact, over 90% of teens in the U.S. have smart phones and are on them an average of 6.5 hours a day, not including homework.
You worry they’re spending too much time online, at the expense of their schoolwork, friends IRL and time to “just be a kid”.
The Center for Online Safety helps parents and educators teach kids how to be good digital citizens, set goals based on what’s most important, prioritize their time and, sometimes, even put down their screens.
