Connected, not consumed
Research-Informed Tools for Healthy Digital Engagement
Welcome to my curated collection of safe technology tools for children—carefully selected based on findings from PhD-level qualitative phenomenological research exploring students’ perceptions of how digital media impacts their physical and mental health. Through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, students voiced concerns about overstimulation, screen fatigue, and emotional well-being, while also expressing a desire for balance and mindful engagement with technology. In response, this collection features tools that prioritize age-appropriate content, promote healthy digital habits, and encourage active, imaginative play. Each resource has been chosen to support children's development while aligning with research-informed best practices for digital wellness.
