  12. Digital Parenting Style Gold, 2015, pp.18-20 KSCA/KSDE Summer Camp 2015

  13. My approach to family rules for technology is.. • I wouldn’t bother. • I would try my best to enforce rules but might have difficulty with follow-through • I would include my children in the process of developing a family technology plan. • My husband and I will type up clear, consistent rules about when and how technology can be used. KSCA/KSDE Summer Camp 2015

  14. Ideally, how would you monitor your child’s internet use? • Wouldn’t bother. • Would occasionally look at my child’s phone or search history. • Would consistently check my child’s texts and quietly follow her on social media sites. • Would install parental controls and filters. I would block inappropriate websites and monitor all activity. KSCA/KSDE Summer Camp 2015

  15. Would you allow your son to play online games on school nights? • Of course. What else would he be doing? • Yes. He needs the break, and hopefully he will get his homework done afterwards. • Yes. But he needs to complete his homework and show it to me, and then I am happy to let him play or to play a game with him. • No. Video games are addictive and distracting. He needs to focus on his homework, and he can play games on the weekend. KSCA/KSDE Summer Camp 2015

  16. What would you do if you found your daughter sending an inappropriate photo to her boyfriend? • Nothing. It is her private business. • Express concern and discuss what is going on in the relationship. • Express concern about my daughter’s self-esteem while contacting the boy’s parents to make sure the picture is not forwarded. Then take away her phone for the next few days. • Forbid my daughter from ever seeing the boy again and then take away her phone for the next month. KSCA/KSDE Summer Camp 2015

  17. Scoring for Digital Parenting Style • Aresponses shows parent fits into Laissez-faire or uninvolved parenting style. • B responses for 2 or more questions show Permissive parenting style. • D responses for 2 or more questions show Authoritarian parenting style • C responses for 2 or more questions reflect Authoritative parenting style. KSCA/KSDE Summer Camp 2015

  18. What does this mean? • Laissez-faire parenting is linked to poor self-esteem and less resilience. Least common style • Permissive parenting shows high level of warmth and low level of restriction. • Authoritarian parents have rules that are not to be questioned. • Authoritative parents is shown to build online resilience and digital citizenship.

  22. Tech Talk Phase 2 • Define Expectations • Present your vision for ideal and appropriate use including time limits& expectations • This can happen whenever and as often as you wish • Be clear and direct, but open enough to ask & answer questions • Length & depth will vary depending on child’s age and temperament • Can adjourn and return later for more limits KSCA/KSDE Summer Camp 2015
