We love when screentime leads to family fun. And when we can follow our kids' interests and passions. Here's a fun way our team has been spreading joy around KC this week. Go Chiefs! @Chiefs @PatrickMahomes #RunItBack #bringingscreentimetolife

We love when screentime leads to family fun. Here’s our modified version of a @ChiaPetOfficial. We call him "ChiaPat" (sorry @tootgail - we know he's officially Patrick!). Go Chiefs! @Chiefs @PatrickMahomes #runitback #bringingscreentimetolife

Screen Sanity episode 2: 19-year-old author Amy Crouch shares what it was like growing up with digital limits and her gratitude for the ways those limits protected her from social pressures, distraction, and harmful secrets that can come with devices. westartnow.org/blog/2020/12/7…

At START, we are big fans of co-viewing - enjoying movies or other media together as a family. For some, @hallmarkchannel Christmas movies are prime examples (as well as #Elf, #HomeAlone, etc.). We loved this Pandemic Hallmark Movie plot generator. Let us know what you get!

Last night's debate was BAD. Our kids are growing up in a world of social media which propels echo chambers, polarization, and disrespect. Join us for @SocialDilemma_ Saturday - a great way to understand and discuss these trends w/your kids.

Join us Saturday for a FREE screening of @SocialDilemma_. One reviewer said it "should be mandatory viewing for everyone who has a social media account." We think this is a great film to view WITH your teens/tweens and can lead to a great convo. bigmarker.com/start1/The-Soc…

#Cuties + #cancelnetflix - the hypersexualization of girls filming this movie is sad. AND YET - we hold it in tension with the sense that cancel culture oversimplifies things. This movie is not an outlier. This content is common on Tik Tok + other sites. vimeo.com/457846426/eb05…

This documentary looks so interesting - features convos w/former tech execs about what they saw behind the scenes - including a view of the control room showing how programmers send each of us customized feeds strategically designed to keep us scrolling. youtube.com/watch?v=uaaC57…
