Even if your child is still in preschool or early elementary school, digital habits start forming earlier than we think. Conversations about screen time, online safety, and healthy communication begin at home.
In Livingston County:
- Over 11,600 children are ages 0–5
- 70% of young children have all parents in the labor force
Families are juggling work, caregiving, and increasingly complex digital realities. Events like this help parents feel more confident and less overwhelmed. When parents feel supported, children benefit.
There are fewer than 2,000 days between birth and kindergarten.
Early guidance and healthy modeling can shape how children approach technology for years to come.
