screenchoice is a non-profit organization on a mission to empower individuals to develop healthy tech habits and protect their well-being in a digital world.
We believe technology should be a tool that enhances our lives, not controls them.
The Challenge:
Today’s technology can be incredibly beneficial, but excessive screen time can lead to:
- Reduced Attention Spans: Difficulty focusing and completing tasks.
- Disrupted Sleep Patterns: Notifications and blue light emission can interfere with sleep.
- Manipulation by Algorithms: Targeted advertising and social media feeds can influence our choices and desires.
- Social Isolation: Overreliance on screens can hinder face-to-face interaction.
Our Approach:
ScreenChoice offers a two-pronged approach to promote responsible technology use:
- Educational Resources: We provide articles, workshops, and online resources that:
- Explain the potential downsides of excessive screen time.
- Offer practical tips for setting healthy boundaries.
- Promote digital literacy and critical thinking skills.
- Community Support: We foster a supportive online community where individuals can:
- Share experiences and challenges.
- Motivate each other to set goals and achieve a healthier tech balance.
- Learn from experts and peers.

When should kids be introduced to screens? Is all screen time the same? How much is too much? Answers to these questions will vary from family to family and kid to kid. But research-based guidance can help inform your decisions.
Why is it called a website? And who, you might ask, is the spider? This witty metaphor reminds us that in the intricate web of the internet, it’s all too easy for us—and especially impressionable teens—to become ensnared. As parents, we must navigate the digital landscape with caution and awareness, guiding our children to use technology responsibly. Let’s come together, take action, and commit to fostering a healthy balance between the virtual and real world for our younger generation. The time for responsible digital parenting is now. Are you ready to join the movement and weave a safer world for our kids?
