Teaching children life skills in a digital world
SUMMARY: As technology increasingly influences children’s lives, it poses challenges and opportunities for teaching vital life skills. Alicia Herrera, executive director of Silven Learning, emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, time management, and digital citizenship. Parents should model good behavior, set clear expectations about internet use, and encourage ongoing conversations about online safety.

Engaging collaboratively with children can help them navigate technology responsibly and develop as informed, confident individuals.
