Do you know anyone who wishes their kids would spend ᗰOᖇE TIᗰE on social media, gaming or endless videos? Neither do I. Are you concerned about the increasing influence of technology on our children's lives? I certainly am. Kids’ use of technology causes problems at home, in school, and in life. That's why we created Converlation—a solution that guides kids (and parents) through meaningful conversations, helping them navigate the digital landscape while connecting with adults and peers. We've developed a roadmap for these crucial conversations. They learn: ✅ what is posted on social media is not reality but highlight reels. ✅ that there are attention engineers on the other side of the screen whose job it is to keep their eyes on the device as much as possible. ✅ about dopamine, how it is created, and how it keeps them engaged with technology, even if they don't want that. ✅ like any drug, and tech is a drug, there are side effects from using it. They 🅽🅴🅴🅳 🆃🅾 🅺🅽🅾🆆 all this … and more. And the results are kids who: ✅ can communicate better, ✅ spend less time on tech, ✅ are just more fun to be around, ✅ which sets them up for a successful life. And for the parents: ✅ guilt-free parenting ✅ reduced stress ✅ gain control over tech ✅ engaging conversations at the dinner table With nearly three decades of experience in education, I've witnessed firsthand the profound changes technology has brought to our kids' lives. Instead of engaging in meaningful conversations, they often find themselves immersed in the world of social media, endless videos, and gaming. I retired five years early from my teaching career to tackle this issue head-on. We all want the next generation to be empathetic, cooperative, and caring problem solvers who make wise and responsible decisions. If you're passionate about empowering the next generation to use technology as a tool for growth and learning, let's connect! Together, we can make a positive impact.
