Low-tech Bedrooms are key to managing online time

We can’t stress enough how important this is. When you realise that on average, teenagers in North America send 33 text messages to their boy/girl friend(s) a night between midnight and 5am, it comes as no surprise that teenagers, who are already tired due to puberty – are also tired due to lack of sleep.

Create a central place for all devices to live overnight in a visible location in the house. It will pay dividends for you in ways you ca not begin to imagine:

• More even mannered children
• Better grades
• Less technology addiction

Check back here soon and we will outline even more benefits to this approach, and how to go about setting up a low-tech bedroom. Things you may wish to consider before doing this are:

1. Conduct a technology review
2. Begin on a program of technology accountability.
