Key concepts students will learn:

  • Becoming aware of how we feel in different situations, whether we're using media or not, is about the habit of notice, and making choices considering those feelings.

  • For very young children, from ages zero to two, we can use emotion labeling to give them the language for what they're experiencing.

  • Parents can model healthy behavior by putting their phone aside and having set times to check their phone instead of reacting to every notification.
