How do you currently manage screen time in your household?

We don't have specific rules—kids use devices whenever they want. We've tried setting limits, but they're not consistent or clear. We have family tech rules that mostly work, though enforcement is sometimes tricky. We have clear boundaries, tech-free zones, and our kids helped create the rules.

What's your approach to online safety and monitoring your children's digital activities?

I haven't really thought about monitoring or discussed online safety with my kids. I'm aware it's important but haven't set up any specific safeguards or conversations yet. I have some monitoring tools in place and occasionally discuss online safety with my kids. I actively discuss online safety, use appropriate monitoring tools, and know my child's digital friends.

How would you rate your own technology habits as a model for your children?

I'm constantly checking my phone, even during family time—I know it's not ideal. I try to put my phone away, but I often slip back into checking it frequently. I'm generally mindful about my tech use and take breaks, though I could be more consistent. I deliberately model healthy tech habits—phone-free meals, regular breaks, and offline activities.

How intentional are you about the content your children access online and on devices?

Kids have pretty open access to whatever they want—I don't actively curate content. I restrict some content but mostly react to problems rather than plan ahead. I've researched some quality apps and shows, and I try to guide their choices. I actively explore and curate educational content, and I help my kids understand why certain content matters.
