Thank you to our CMS parent group for hosting an informative session with Dr. Natalie L. Moser! Dr. Moser provided good reminders and suggestions on how we can support our children with technology use. She provided many great resources which are included below. As a parent of two teens, I found Dr. Moser's recommendation of creating a cell phone contract with (with, not to) my teens to be helpful in empowering them to make healthy decisions in their usage.
