dc.description.abstractAbstract This project focuses on the impact of the misuse and/or overuse of digital technologies on children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. The purpose of this report is to impart knowledge about technologies’ side effects when misused or overused, and also to offer parents strategies, tools, and tips to help their children develop a positive, balanced, and healthy relationship with technology so that it enriches their lives instead of diminishing them. In Chapter Two, I review the existing literature on this topic, finding much evidence that the impact on the development of children aged 12 and younger is predominantly negative and thereby supporting the ongoing and growing concern about this issue among parents and educators. In Chapter Three, the final chapter, the focus is on healthy digital habits. I describe a PowerPoint presentation and a print brochure I created that give parents important tips and strategies to help ensure that their children use digital technologies in a healthy and balanced manner.en_US
