Digital Technology

Through our partnership with Linewize, we have established a St Michael’s Online Safety Hub where you as parents can access all of the latest information and advice for technology in your home. This is a very valuable resource for parents as it can allow us to gain valuable insight into social media, screen time, gaming, smartphones, bullying, mental health and wellbeing and more!

This week we will be looking at Taming the Tech Tantrum 

Children experience tech tantrums due to interruptions in their digital interactions, heightened by the stimulating and rewarding nature of online activities.

Overstimulation occurs when young children spend more than two continuous hours on screens. Limiting screen time to an hour or less helps reduce post-screen grumpiness.

Follow our three-step process for helping reduce the occurrence of tech tantrums.

If this information is interesting and valuable to you, please be sure to check out more information on the St Michael’s Online Safety Hub for useful information.
