“Jane is truly knowledgeable and skillful in her coaching around kids’ digital wellbeing. Her focused and compassionate coaching helped me find clarity about how to address my son’s excessive use of his iphone. I now feel more confident, and have a clear strategy of how we can move forward on this issue as a family.”

Optional Add On: Understanding Your Family’s Digital World

  • Cyberbullying and Online Predators Social Media Harm and Screentime Dangers for Children

    ✺ Awareness of Your Child's World

    Kids experiences online are not the same as yours. To protect your children, you need a simple way to assess the digital dangers and benefits of using tech and be fully aware of the effects on their health and wellbeing before deciding on rules about screen time.

  • Kids Having Fun Without Phones

    ✺ Fun Without Screens

    Getting kids to do more living offline needs more than restrictions and a tech agreement. Their devices create physical and emotional craving for more and more screen time. Parents need support to go through a carefully structured process with their children to help them regain their focus on the real world.

  • Jane Newman Family Digital Detox encourages families and mixed age groups to have fun and socialise without technology.

    ✺ Real World Skills

    Critical social skills are developed when children engage in real world experiences, building deep and lasting friendships. Confronting real-world challenges shapes kids into resilient, healthy adults, and parents need support to develop communities and groups that are suitable for their children to thrive so they’re protected while exploring their full capabilities to be themselves.

Why This Matters

Parents are struggling with how to make sure their kids are developing in healthy ways when everything is happening silently online. Sometimes it seems like they’ve turned into different people. Taking their devices away leads to arguments, and often increases stress and conflict within the home.

As a mother of two children, I’ve been through these challenges. With 30+ years in information systems, digital wellbeing expertise, Ethics of AI certification, and decades coaching children and adults, I’m here to support you in building healthy family environments.

AI has increased the risks for children beyond Social Media. Children are using AI instead of people to teach them life skills, cultural values and appropriate behaviours.

Kids are surrounded by fake content and fake people, extreme levels of abuse, violence and bullying that are hard for adults to comprehend.

Children are left distressed and feeling isolated even when they’re at home, suffering emotional and mental health problems that last into adulthood.

It’s hard for parents to know what to do without reliable information and a clear, proven system to guide you in managing your family’s digital environment as well as thriving family relationships..

That’s why this program is herefor you.

I’m passionate about the rights of all children to live active, joyful lives.

My vision for the future is one where children are thriving, with opportunities to experience all that life has to offer, connected to their purpose, enjoying and experiencing the world around them.
