This is a comprehensive list of suggestions on how to monitor the use of technology and various apps, such as: Structure days with as much “normalcy” as possible. Be consistent, but also creative in engaging/re-engaging with “off-screen” activities, sports, extra-curriculars, camps, specialty hobbies/interests, and clubs. Encourage their in-real-life engagement now and keep them going so that they continue during vacation breaks.  Scatter screen time is used throughout the day, day-especially on weekends during the school year; screen privileges are held until after homework/family time is done.  Discuss tools/ways they can de-escalate, regulate, & recalibrate BEFORE a meltdown happens!  Plan; Give them good non-screen-based activity choices and let them choose; Arrange playdates for younger children.  Restrict/revisit where/when devices can be used in your home; set “tech-free” zones and times.  Discuss your family values and endorse that these are also expected/promoted during online engagement. Their online behaviors and values should mirror their offline ones.  Use a request for new devices/equipment/app access, etc., to create a new “Family Responsible Device Use” agreement.  Set ground rules and enforce consequences for device mismanagement.  Keep phones outside bedrooms at night; put chargers away while sleeping; give kids phones/devices in the morning after they have woken, groomed, and had breakfast.  Set timers/”Do Not Disturb” device self-interventions; limit app use to no more than one hour daily!  Turn off ALL notifications; unsubscribe from, block, & delete useless/addictive/”time suck” apps/sites; remove all sound cues/unnecessary “notifications” & alerts; restrict/block all push/notifications; “Unfollow” that “Influencer,” you “rage follow,” the “offensive meme” poster; notice the way your body/mind reacts when “Doomscrolling” and trim the “Follower” fat!  Consider changing the smartphone interface to a “grayscale” option and “dark mode” at night.  Use Parental Controls; set content and time limits; Send the message; audit “ScreenTime” app (iPhones) regularly; Android phones also have PCs.Investigate the “Guided Access” feature, which is now available on many devices.  For younger children, consider using a Smartwatch instead of a phone. Then “Troomi,” “Pinwheel,” “Bark,” or “Gabb” type or a “dumbphone” as the next option. Allow them to earn more privileges (both device type and application/gaming/platform access) as they mature and demonstrate healthy device management and engagement behaviors, which can also be revoked due to non-compliant or inappropriate ones.  Be mindful when using any video-type app of the background others can see.  Eat meals together at the table, with no devices allowed for anyone; EAT SLOWLY & TALK TOGETHER!  Educate yourself; try out apps and games, and investigate sites your kids might be using; ask them to teach you how they work, and play with them!  Continue/reintroduce the fun family routines established in confinement (i.e., ZOOM dinners with family/friends, “game & movie” nights, etc.).  Moderate expectations; It is a work in progress for ALL of us.  Tend to your mental health (and screen use!) as you would suggest to friends/family, and model the change.
