From the moment children are born, they’re surrounded by screens… Families can reshape these patterns. By making small changes to our daily routines and environment, we can help kids develop healthier digital habits and reclaim focus and attention.

Starting something new can feel overwhelming—new routines, new people, all the new unknowns. Instead of isolating, lean into it: be present, build supportive routines, set clear goals, and let the journey show who you are. You’re not alone, and you don’t need to have it all figured out on day one.

Tired of your phone and laptop running you? Join us for a free Digital Declutter Webinar where we’ll help you tidy up your digital space, create healthier screen-time boundaries, and reclaim focus and clarity. Organize your devices, streamline your social media and email, and make technology work for your life instead of controlling it.

This holiday season, choose presence over pressure. Instead of chasing every event and feeling obliged to be everywhere, embrace the freedom of missing out—on overload, on comparison, on endless scrolling. Create the space to connect, rest, and rediscover real joy in what truly matters.

In our tech-filled world, screens and social media offer endless connection—yet too much can leave young people feeling isolated, anxious and disconnected from themselves. The goal isn’t to ditch technology entirely, but to rediscover balance. By choosing presence over distraction, unplugging with intention and investing in real-world relationships, students gain the freedom to engage fully in the life around them.

You’re invited to help shape the future of digital well-being in higher education. The kick-off meeting of the Coalition for Collegiate Digital Well-Being brings together students and campus leaders to transform good intentions into shared action. Expect student voices, strategic insights from campus leadership and concrete ideas to launch in the coming academic year.

Over the past year, students progressed—and the numbers show it: those who once went online for one purpose but got distracted dropped from 49 % to 43 %; procrastination via apps/social media fell from 67 % to 56 %; single‐tasking rose from 39 % to 44 %; and students using ‘Do Not Disturb’ or closing distracting apps when working increased from 39 % to 44 %. Proof that meaningful change is possible when digital well-being is taken seriously.

Digital wellness is a positive state of mental, physical and social-emotional health achieved through intentional, authentic and balanced engagement with technology and interactive media.

Truly good conversation isn’t just about talking—it’s about being present, asking curious questions, and listening with intention. These three keys open space for connection, understanding and trust—especially in a world full of distractions.

In Ontario and the Netherlands, phone bans in classrooms are gaining traction—but does banning the device truly address the deeper issue? The reality: phones can be powerful tools for connection and learning, yet they’re often designed to distract. Rather than simply eliminate the device, the key is creating conditions where intentional use, focus and meaning can thrive.

Digital-well-being expert Christina Crook highlights how campuses like Virginia Tech are embracing culture change—not just banning phones, but teaching students how to use tech with intention. Small shifts lead to big impact.

In partnership with CBC, JOMO Campus CEO Christina Crook addresses how platforms like TikTok shape youth behaviour—and why building mindful, balanced tech-habits matters more than ever.
