If experts could offer one, single tip for parents with kids aging into their internet access years, what would they say? In honor of welcoming Dr. Scott Kollins as Aura’s Chief Medical Officer (CMO), this week’s episode of the Digital Parenthood Digest features our experts giving their #1 tip for parents in the digital era. While the experts have a lot of great advice to share, the one tip that continues to come up is the importance of modeling the behavior you want to see. If you don’t want your child to be glued to their screen all day, then you as the parent ALSO need to take time away from your devices. It’s hard to convince your child to stay off of their phone when you aren’t adhering to the same rules, too. Special thanks to Ron Kerbs, Dave Anderson, Lily Silver, Jacqueline Nesi, PhD, Aliza Pressman, Ph.D., Lisa Damour, PhD, Hari Ravichandran, Michael Preston, Lance Ulanoff, Laura Erickson-Schroth, Reena Ninan, Merve Lapus, and Keri Rodrigues.

The brief video below introduces my role and sets the context for what we are aspiring to... Thank you to Hari Ravichandran and the entire Aura team for welcoming me aboard. #Technology #MentalHealth #Cybersecurity

It might sound hard to believe, but there was a time when the advent of cars was shunned for being too dangerous for society. It took years for humans to adjust to cars as a new form of technology, outweigh their risks with benefits, and integrate them into society. So, knowing that the internet is here to stay, how can parents adapt to its risks and protect their child’s mental health? On this week’s episode of the Digital Parenthood Digest, Aura Founder & CEO Hari Ravichandran sat down with Dr Alfiee Breland-Noble, Dave Anderson, and Aliza Pressman, Ph.D. to discuss how we can improve kids’ online safety to protect their long-term mental health. Special thanks to Child Mind Institute and The AAKOMA Project, Inc.

“My 12-year-old is smart and does well in school, so he gets bored easily. He used to come home from school and just sit on his phone. He'd easily be on it for 20 hours or play a video game for 16 hours straight, which flabbergasted me.” Aura customer Bill Safcik recently sat down with Business Insider’s Charissa Cheong to talk about the flabbergasting reality of raising connected kids. Catch the full story below, and special thank you to Bill and Charissa for bringing this important conversation to the forefront. https://lnkd.in/eHq6_WhV #Technology #Parenting #ScreenTime #SocialMedia
I'm a dad who works in Big Tech. I spend 12 hours a day on my computer and feel responsible for my children's dependence on screens.
