Family digital wellness and technology management
Overview
Efforts to manage children's digital habits have expanded from service-based interventions to broader discussions on household technology management. Clearspace launched ‘Clearspace Family’, a 24/7 concierge service aimed at helping parents regulate children's screen time and address issues like ‘parental phubbing’, which research suggests can negatively impact child development.
In addition to behavioral management, families are navigating the financial aspects of technology, often managing unbudgeted expenses for devices and accessories. This has led to a growing secondary market for ‘opened carton’ electronics, where items are graded by condition to manage costs. To complement digital regulation, experts recommend establishing screen-free routines, such as predictable windows of time without devices, by ensuring non-digital alternatives are easily accessible.
