Kids’ digital habits evolve as they grow and supporting them means understanding what they need at each stage. These four age-specific tip sheets offer practical, research-informed guidance to help families navigate media use from early childhood through the teen years.

Each tip sheet is built around four core digital parenting strategies: Curate what kids see, Control who can access them and their data, Co-view and discuss media together and Coach them as they develop resilience, independence and healthy habits.
