Reflecting on Jake Ernst’s visit: Exploring social health

To help students make healthier choices online, he emphasized the concept of using our "buddy brain"—our ability to think collaboratively and responsibly in both online and real-world interactions. His visit sparked meaningful conversations about how we engage with technology and each other, leaving students with valuable tools to foster stronger, more mindful connections in their daily lives.

During the evening session, Jake was kind enough to explore many of the same concepts with families. His introduction of the idea of “co-regulation” seemed to resonate with many of the adults in attendance. When faced with issues, our children often look to us for reassurance and to create calm and responsive environments. However, if we, as parents, cannot serve as the co-regulator for our children, they may seek co-regulation elsewhere and social media may start to play a larger role in their lives. Jake’s presentation sparked a fulsome question and answer session with the families in attendance. Overall, it was a wonderful evening for families to be in conversation about how we can promote digital wellbeing at home and at school.
