How can Parents Defuse Digital Tantrums Effectively?

In a modernised time where digital screens have become an integral aspect of our daily lives, parents grapple with an inevitable challenge – their children’s tech-related tantrums and challenging behaviours surrounding device usage. As our kids grow up in a highly digitised world, how do we deal with unsavoury behaviours? Join our host, June Yong, as she engages in conversation with Chong Ee Jay, father of an 8-year-old son who’s being exposed to the digital playground. He shares his approach in handling his son's screen time and sheds light on how he navigates his son's digital habits as well as his own thoughts and emotions when faced with screen time challenges. -- Every parent needs support in raising screen-smart families who use technology for meaningful connections. If you have a child who is struggling in areas related to digital issues, our team of coaches and counsellors are here to guide and support you in your parenting journey. In parent coaching, you are able to share your child's challenges regarding digital issues (e.g., cyberbullying, digital addiction) and explore individualised strategies with a coach to have better conversation on digital use and strengthen your parent-child relationship.
