How much more can we handle? – A Practical Guide for Parents

Our increasingly digitized world opens up a wide range of opportunities for us to communicate with one another around the globe, provides us with the latest news and information, fosters creativity and flexibility, offers entertainment, and expands our scope of action.

Both adults and adolescents are finding it increasingly difficult to escape this colorful digital world. And that’s not what they’re supposed to do anyway. On the contrary: People who use media responsibly participate in social life and stay up to date!
Now, study results from recent years are increasingly highlighting the change that appears to have taken hold in the living rooms and children’s rooms of today’s families: an increase in media consumption and, consequently, in the potential for conflict within families.

This raises a question for parents: How can we keep track of our child’s media usage amid the seemingly endless possibilities offered by smartphones, social media, computers, and the like?

In our information booklet, interested parents will find some suggestions and additional tips for a more relaxed approach to media in everyday family life.
