Prior to the pandemic, researchers were already expressing concern about distracted parents, finding “The rise of media use among parents, causes them to be distracted and disengaged with their children.” This trend coined a new term, “distracted parenting,” which is parental overuse of hand-held technology, particularly cell phones and tablets, in the presence of children. During the pandemic use of devices by all family members rose significantly and has continued to grow to a problematic level for all family members. 

If you are a parent or a professional who supports parents, you’ll want to attend this webinar to learn more about this issue and gain practical solutions for using a Balanced parenting style to eliminate or manage the 5 most common distractions parents face and reconnect with your child.
