After well over a thousand presentations to parents, grandparents, and caregivers just like you, and countless conversations, we’ve observed what it takes to have kids learn to use technology well. And we call it the PYE Core Values. This presentation breaks down these 5 foundational ideas. • Do you know what’s better than any parental control? • Do you know why your router is the most important digital device in your home? • Do you understand the toxic trio? • Do you know why TikTok is so intoxicating to young brains? • Get ready for a ton of practical tips, solutions, and ideas you can implement.
