Raising Kids in a Digital World
As millennials, we grew up in a unique position—we remember life before smartphones, built our first friendships without social media, and learned to navigate the world both online and off. Now we’re raising kids who’ve never known offline living, and the pressure is real. How do we set healthy boundaries around screen time when schools require tablets? How do we teach digital literacy without surrendering childhood to algorithms? How do we prepare our kids for a tech-driven future while protecting the creativity, boredom, and unstructured play that shaped us?
We’re caught between two fears: falling behind by limiting technology, or losing something essential by embracing it too fully. But here’s what we’re learning: it’s not about choosing between preparing kids for success and protecting their wellbeing—it’s about teaching them to be intentional. Our programming helps millennial parents navigate this tension through practical strategies, shared experiences, and honest conversations with others facing the same challenges. We explore age-appropriate tech boundaries, create family media plans that actually work, and discover how to model the balanced relationship with technology we want our kids to have.
Because the goal isn’t raising kids who can’t function in a digital society—it’s raising kids who can thrive in it without being consumed by it. Kids who know how to code and how to be bored. Who can research online and have a face-to-face conversation. Who understand technology as a tool they control, not a force that controls them.
You’re not doing this alone. Let’s figure it out together.
