This week we suggest talking with your kids about what they are creating through tech and in their screen time.
Do you know that only 3% of preteens and teens are actually creating content on their screens as opposed to passively clicking, scrolling and gaming?
Ask your family which creative apps they like? Have they ever used Garage Band? Created a movie in iMovie? What other creative apps and programs do they know about. Brainstorm with them.
While you do build things through video games, this was not considered content creation in the study, How does your family feel about that?
As well as our weekly blog, we publish videos like this one every week on the Screenagers YouTube channel
