Raising Tech-Healthy Humans

Thanks to Christian Education National, we have an exclusive resource available for FREE for all DCS parents!

We are excited to introduce a new online course for parents called Raising Tech-Healthy Humans, in partnership with Daniel Sih from Spacemakers.

Daniel is a Christian who writes and speaks for the broader Australian community, yet his teachings are informed by his love for Jesus and his experience working as a church pastor. Daniel, as he puts it, is an 'imperfect parent' teaching other parents, educators and leaders an intentional approach to tech-parenting.

There are fifteen short, interesting videos covering a range of essential tech-healthy parenting topics such as:

How do I encourage healthy screen-time limits?
What is the impact of interactive media on my child's developing brain?
When and how should I give my child a smartphone?
How do I engage in relationship-forming tech-conversations?
How is my philosophy of technology a faith-issue?
What can I do to get my kids outdoors to have fun?
How do we support each other to raise healthy, wholehearted humans as a community?

We encourage our families to take advantage of this amazing offer!
