At ScreenSense we provide parents, caregivers, and educators support through education, consulting, and community-building.

Parent Education Events

Our Parent Ed talks cover the latest research and best practices for TK-8th parents/caregivers. We encourage introducing tech slowly in age-appropriate ways with guardrails and limits. Our hope is to inform and empower our audiences with practical action steps and a sense of community while navigating the complex work of raising kids in the digital age.

Virtual Parent Ed Offerings

  1. Creating a healthy approach to tech for your family and getting ahead of what’s to come!

  2. Is my child ready for a Phone?

  3. Is my child ready for Social Media?

  4. Rethinking youth tech norms together, as a community

Custom Parent Education - virtual or in person (in Marin County, CA)

We also collaborate with schools, PTAs, and groups to co-create a custom event for your specific community. For example, we: 

  1. Present about custom-selected topics followed by Q&A

  2. Facilitate panels to share various stakeholder perspectives

  3. Moderate discussions to identify common concerns and encourage collective action

  4. Host Q&A and discussions after a group screens a film (e.g., Screenagers) or reads a related book (e.g., Anxious Generation)

Private Consultation with Families

ScreenSense offers private consulting services (in-home in Marin County or virtual) for parents seeking custom support for managing tech use at home.  We help parents/caregivers create a tech-healthy environment at home that supports their values, improves daily habits, and reduces conflicts.  We can also help you prepare to give your child a first phone, strip down an iPhone so it only allows talk and text, reel in current device use, or set up Apple Screen Time and other parent controls on devices, routers, smartphones, and apps. Sometimes just having someone to talk through the challenges of parenting tech makes all the difference.

School Consulting

Daily life at school for educators and students is increasingly impacted by technology. Schools are navigating a new world of teaching and learning in a digital age with Ed Tech advances, school-issued devices, and student phones disrupting the school day. We believe schools have a unique opportunity to create values and guidelines around tech for their communities and offer several options for supporting schools in this process. Currently we offer school leader consultations in the Bay Area.
