Do your kids roll their eyes when you try to talk tech? Mine did too until I founded GetKidsInternetSafe. With the help of my millennial interns, I have become a bit of a meme lord, I have to admit. My teens will never admit to being impressed, but they kinda are. Not only did it help this digital immigrant relate to my digital natives, it also made me more clear about my expectations of them, rules and regulations around screen use, and how to have more fun as a parent instead of feeling worried and guilt all the time.
After I started to benefit from my screen-related parenting strategies so much, I started sharing them with my clients. They were so stoked about all of it, I then took it online and founded GetKidsInternetSafe. To help my GKIS parents develop credibility with their kids, I decided to offer two things right off the bat: my free Connected Family Screen Agreement AND free weekly articles about all things screen-related.
With your GKIS CONNECTED FAMILY SCREEN AGREEMENT, you’ll have a sensible structure to gently teach your kids what they need to know for safety and start cooperative, fun dialogue about all things tech. I developed this powerful tool to be valuable, comprehensive, and doable.
Your free GKIS weekly articles are designed to give you an endless library of interesting and useful tidbits of information that will help you build a cooperative dialogue with your family, week after week.Super convenient and easy. If they are not for you, all you have to do is click the unsubscribe button at the bottom of each email.
I’m happy to report I have a surprisingly high open rate compared to other informational experts. I think that’s because I’m really picky about what we publish. Every article has to be clear, interesting, and short! In fact, I just gave two presentations yesterday and there were at least three people in each audience that had not only seen me speak before, but they said they LOVE their weekly articles. A few said they’ve been on my mailing list for many years and still look forward to their weekly GKIS read! How cool is that?
As a busy mom myself, I recommend you calendar well-deserved weekly cozy time for a cup of tea and your quick GKIS read. Creating that space for yourself will help you make a deliberate plan and stay consistent. Plus you’ll sound more credible to your family! You are no longer alone in this. We’ve written some great articles with you in mind.
