SELF-AWARENESS IN DIGITAL LIFE

Talk About How Your Child Feels When Using Technology

Your child is learning to pay attention to their feelings while using devices, such as tablets, phones, or computers.

Use these questions to talk with them about the different ways technology makes them feel and what to do if they

feel uncomfortable or frustrated.

Ask these three questions:

1. I hear you talked in school about the kinds of feelings you might have when using technology. Do you ever feelsad or

mad when you use your devices?

2. What are some things you do that make you happy when using technology?

3. Can you tell me about the Pause, Think, and Ask routine you learned in school?

○ Listen for:

■ Pause: When you have a feeling,stop and take a moment to notice it.

■ Think: Notice your feelings and think about what to do next.

■ Ask: Listen to all your feelings. If you're feeling uncomfortable or frustrated, get help from a grown-up.
