ABOUT DR. TRACY BENNETT

Dr. Bennett is the screen safety expert who teaches families how to strengthen relationships AND achieve screen sanity. She is founder and CEO of GetKidsInternetSafe (GKIS) and author of Screen Time in the Mean Time: A Parenting Guide to Get Kids and Teens Internet Safe.

As a mom and psychologist, she’s seen the impacts of digital injury and how to treat and prevent it. After being distracted herself, she needed answers for her own kids; shame-free, actionable strategies that work. They weren’t out there, so she committed to the GKIS mission.

What Parents and Educators are Saying about GKIS

“Dr. Bennett was so informative and relatable. She shared personal stories and gave real life examples so that parents can have a clear idea what some of the digital dangers are as well as strategies for families. Our kids need us as parents and educators to be able to protect them from digital harm the same we do from physical and emotional harm. Dr. Bennett definitely provided the Lang Ranch Community with awareness and preparedness for this new parenting age.”

I encourage every school principal to reach out to Dr. Bennett and invite her to speak to your parent community. She brings a lifetime of knowledge and understanding of the adolescent mind. Dr. Bennett uses scientifically based information and data to support her presentation. Running a middle school is a huge challenge and Dr. Bennett was able to help parents understand that technology is not a bad thing, but, we as parents must determine if providing our children with a cell phone or other technology is the right thing to do. Setting limits, monitoring usage, staying current on what apps kids are using, and being involved are all covered in the presentation. I will be bringing her back every year to help educate our parent community about the realities of today’s technology. Thank Dr. Bennet!!! Doug Hedin Principal Sycamore Canyon School
