Managing your child’s digital life is a relatively new challenge, an issue that didn’t really exist for our parents when we were children. A child’s attitude towards electronic devices passes through discrete stages and parents are encouraged to understand these phases to help children navigate their way to becoming independent, responsible, young adults.
Frederick Lane from Platform for Good has recently published a fantastic list of developmental phases that helps manage the growing stages of your child’s digital life beginning from early childhood years.
· Phase One: Can I play with that?
· Phase Two: I want one of those!
· Phase Three: Let me set that up for you.
· Phase Four: Hey, that’s private!
· Phase Five: Whaddya mean I have to pay for that?
