Guest Post - Create a Family Tech Strategy

Technology can be wonderful, busy and a little too consuming at times. This is especially true when it comes to tech use and your kids. Here are some tips from Super Cleaning Service Louisville for creating a tech strategy for your family.

Set limits

Setting clear limits is a way to ensure that all family members have the same expectations. Discuss these limits and guidelines with your family, and work towards enforcing those limits- together. 

Set up a family charging station

A family charging station can be a simple way to keep track of devices, ensuring everything is where it’s supposed to be, and at the appropriate times. Consider investing in a docking station, or another similar system where there are enough cables for every device your family owns. This can be a great way to quickly check to see if all members of the family are abiding by your agreed upon limits. 

Keep it organized! 

Organization and planning are two keys to long term success with establishing healthy tech habits- from an early age. If you aren’t sure how to organize these items or even where to begin, consider working with a team. There are many house cleaning businesses which can point you in the direction of professional organizers. 

Reward healthy habits

Healthy choices take work! Collaborate with your family to understand the consequences and rewards regarding the tech limits that you have, including how these limits might change over time. This could look like an extra 30 minutes on a tablet when homework is finished and beds are made. Simple consequences and rewards are great learning tools. The most important part of any strategy, is to make it your own!
