Even if your child is still in preschool or early elementary school, digital habits start forming earlier than we think. Conversations about screen time, online safety, and healthy communication begin at home.
In Livingston County:
- Over 11,600 children are ages 0β5
- 70% of young children have all parents in the labor force
Parents often balance work, caregiving, and the complexities of digital life. Events like this summit can empower parents, reducing stress and benefiting children when they feel supported.
There are fewer than 2,000 days between birth and kindergarten. Early guidance and healthy modeling can shape how children approach technology for years to come.
