Google Tech Help for Parents

Parenting today involves raising the first generation of kids growing up with technology all around them — at school, at home, and in their pockets. As you chart the path that feels right for your family, Google is here to help.  Check out this site that logs the most asked questions over the past year and beyond.  This includes questions like:

• How much screen time is appropriate?

• When do I get my child their first phone?

• How do I keep my kids safe online?

This site doesn't give black-and-white answers.  It gives parents resources they can access to that they can make educated decisions that are right for their family.

Google also offers this page of Digital Safety Resources.  These include:

• Play the game Interland

• Google's Digital Wellbeing Family Guide

• A family internet pledge you can all sign

• A Parent Tips & Activities Packet

...and more!
