Family Guidelines
Across Marin, let’s collectively safeguard childhood from the overreach of tech.
The Kids IRL Family Guidelines help K-8 families keep tech in check so it doesn't crowd out essential in-real-life activities - like a good night’s sleep, free play with friends, regular family time, and moving our bodies everyday.
Let’s all be part of a community solution by adopting these tech use guidelines in our homes as best we can! If families across Marin implement these in coordination with other families, together we can make swift and positive changes to how we navigate tech in our daily lives.
We don't have to be alone in figuring this out - let's take the pressure off by doing this together!
These guidelines are inspired by and adapted with permission from the visionary work of Andrew Davis, Head of School at Mount Tamalpais School (K-8). We created a Kids IRL version to share with the broader community.
We hope these guidelines support Marin families to successfully develop and implement healthy digital practices at home. Please use these guidelines to determine the practices and policies that best suit your family. And reach out anytime for support!
