Distracted Parenting &
Parent Screen Addiction
Social Media IS impacting parents and parent relationships with children. We are seeing impacts at
school. Something to consider and reflect on.

Technology and Children
Setting boundaries on
family screen time
usage can help support
oral language and
communication skills
as well as modelling
appropriate screen time
self regulation skills.
● In the winter the kids will
have a lot of extra gear to
carry that will typically
not fit in their regular
backpack.
● Having an extra labeled

bag, such as a reusable
grocery bag can be an
easy way for them to
carry their extra gear.
● Independence in putting
on and taking off gear is
also important to
practice.
● Label Everything !
Complex Classrooms
Kids who have attention

and executive
functioning concerns. Kids who have social emotional concerns.
(Abuse, Parental Separation/Divorce, Death of family member
or pet, family member in treatment for cancer, parent who
travels a lot for work, intergenerational trauma, etc.)
Kids who have
difficulties with learning
how to read. (Phonemic
Awareness, Sight Words)
Kids who are not getting enough food,
sleep, love …
Severe, life (attention and conversation with caregivers who are not
threatening Kids who have weak distracted by devices is so important).
allergies among fine motor skills or
students. weak gross motor
skills
Kids who have been exposed to very mature content
in video games or TV/Movies and are acting out with
aggressive behaviour.
Tolerating Big Learned Helplessness
Feelings
The After School Meltdown

Just let them vent. You do not have to “do”
anything to fix the situation. Let Them Struggle!
If we continue to do for them what they
CAN do for themselves they learn to be
helpless. The most important thing to remember is that
it is not your job to RESCUE your child when they CAN’T
accomplish something. If you jump in and rescue, they
automatically understand that you agree with them and that
they really can’t do the task.
