Solutions

I would like to know some solutions when engaging with young people who may already have anxiety due to smartphones, social media, etc. I would love to know the approach as an educator, and a parent.

My smartphone and social media (especially right now) increases MY anxiety, so I can only imagine what that does for our students and their social skills.

Strategies to encourage students to limit the overuse of technology

What I learned from the book...

2025-04-04 17:57:34 UTC

I can help the teens I interact with to be less anxious simply by asking them if they have gone outside yet whenever we chat, or encouraging them to share ways in which they have explored their world outside of their home, etc.

llashley4 — 2025-04-04 17:57:55 UTC

I learned to coach my own son to being more present and to take a break from technology. I learned to ask students questions about their personal lives and what they are doing to "fill their bucket."

What I Learned

kbohatch — 2025-04-04 17:58:25 UTC

I learned there's not a one-size-fits all fix for the issues related to technology use, but the book offered some great solutions. I think they key is being involved as a parent and setting reasonable limits that work for your family. As a teacher, I have a greater understanding of the anxieties my students experience and how these are related to tech. I can be more empathetic and understanding.
