Fostering Healthy Digital Habits in Families: The Positive Side of Technology

Brain Based Parenting

Send us a text

The Brain-Based Parenting team explores how technology can positively impact families when used with intention and appropriate boundaries.
Technology, when used wisely, can be a powerful tool for families. Instant access to information fuels children’s curiosity and learning, while calls, texts, and video chats help family members stay connected across distances. Safety features like location tracking give parents peace of mind, and educational apps, YouTube tutorials, and even Bible apps or faith-based podcasts provide unique opportunities for growth. Games and creative tools can build skills and encourage parent–child bonding. At the same time, practicing good “technology hygiene” is essential, being intentional about both the quantity and quality of tech use. Setting clear expectations from the start, modeling healthy habits as parents, and keeping devices in shared family spaces rather than bedrooms all help prevent conflict and strengthen family connection.
