🚫🔌 March 1 is the National Day of Unplugging. Is your family up for the offline challenge? People taking part in the National Day of Unplugging vow to disconnect from technology for 24 hours starting from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. We believe that taking time away from our devices and spending it with our loved ones is essential to having a healthy relationship with tech. So, how would you spend a screen-free day with your family? Taking a walk in nature? Playing board games? Cooking? Let us know in the comments 👇

🛜 The youngest generations have been brought into a world of constant connectivity. They know no other way - born digital, born connected. Whether scrolling #TikTok, playing #Roblox, or doing their homework, children’s tightening relationship with technology often concerns parents and educators. Let’s talk about AI too. Our research showed that 1 in 5 children have already experimented with #AI - and with artificial intelligence tools expected to grow by almost 40% per year over the next 6 years, they will only become a bigger part of children’s home and school life. How do kids feel about all this? As part of our latest report, Born connected: The rise of the AI generation, we spoke to teens and tweens worldwide to hear what they had to say about their digital life and AI.

This week Qustodio is visiting sunny Santa Barbara for #CJU23, one of the biggest affiliate events out there! If you are around and want to meet up for a chat - let us know! Liliana B.

We recently celebrated our annual Hackathon, but this year, we added a fun twist! The annual hackathon is a time for us to work with different teams and fresh faces, and come together to innovate, create, and discover new ways of doing things. At Qustodio, our hackathon is open to anyone and everyone, which means we get input and perspective from all teams in the company. Our theme for 2023's #hackathon? AI, of course! We wanted to put our heads together and come up with new ways that #AI could help our tools, our families, and our team. It was a jam-packed couple of days, experimenting with and presenting new ideas. Congratulations to the whole team, and of course, the winners, for their hard work and AI-powered efforts! #innovation #teamwork #hackathon2023

70% of parents feel that screens and technology are a distraction from family time, and 50% of parents report that devices and how they're used cause arguments on a weekly or daily basis at home. In our latest Annual Data Report, "From Alpha to Z: raising the digital generations", we spoke to parents and guardians to understand how they feel about raising children in the digital generations. To help families achieve digital wellbeing and balance, it's important to listen to both parents and children and discover what their worries are, and work together with them to build a safe, healthy environment where everyone gets the most out of technology. This weekend, Screen Sanity, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping families navigate their screen and technology concerns, mentioned our findings in The New York Times, and gave invaluable insight on helping families achieve more of a balance. Thank you Screen Sanity for sharing the report, and for drawing attention to a new dynamic affecting so many families around the world. #technology #familyfirst #screentime https://lnkd.in/dG8Gh7Wx
