Key Takeaways:  

• Technology is a tool and should be used with purpose and intention. A good strategy is to say out loud what it is you want to learn online, or who you want to connect with socially.  

• Social media can have a great impact on youth. As parents, the best way to model healthy technology habits is to have healthy technology habits yourself—discipline comes from discipline.  

• Educate yourself on technology and social media. Understand that social media is designed to be highly addictive.
