I actually wrote about Danish kids today, where they banned SoMe from kids under 15.
Whether we agree with Denmark’s move or not, one thing is clear: we can’t outsource calm to governments. It has to start in our homes. Who do you think should have the main responsibility? Family vs state?
Here’s my take + a two-week “Calm Phone” protocol for families:
Hi Cecilia, your 2-week Calm protocol is a valuable tool. Well done for creating. Parents or Government, you ask? That's a good question, but the answer isn’t simple. I believe we parent best as a community. That is, parents draw ideas and strength from other parents in their community. However, many parents, for various reasons, feel isolated when raising kids, so when governments step in with guidelines or, in this case, laws, it's a relief for parents. It gives them a reference point. That’s why schools play a central role in bringing parents together. It’s why schools need to have a voice and provide some guidance for parents.
Im so glad and proud that you liked my protocol ♥️
I could not agree more with you! We are a rather strict family in order to screens, but a lot of families around aren't, and that makes it harder for us. It's unfair for our kid. Help from school/state would be a push in the right direction. A joint work ♥️
Great read! As parents we want to instill confidence and resiliency in our kids, but often struggle to make intentional time to do so. Any further tactical resources or tools you'd recommend?
