What are examples of technology boundaries for adults and teens at school and home (that will actually work)?
We know technology can be a fantastic tool. When used with intention, it connects us, inspires creativity, and opens up learning.
But when it takes over, tech can start to work against us, impacting focus, relationships, and even sleep. Teens especially need guidance on where to draw the line, and setting realistic boundaries can be a game-changer for their well-being.
So what are some practical ways to create boundaries that teens will actually stick to?
These aren’t about imposing restrictions, but about helping teens build healthy habits and giving them the tools to manage their tech use.
