Digital World Foundations
One comprehensive starting point — how digital products are engineered to hold attention, what the sleep and attention evidence genuinely shows, family agreements children help write, social media and self-worth, gaming and the difficulty of stopping, safety and disclosure when something goes wrong, growing up alongside AI, and the household rhythms that make most rules unnecessary.
Inside this course
No parent alive was raised in the environment their children are being raised in, which is why almost every conversation about screens begins from a position of guesswork. This is the Foundations course for the Screens & Digital World pathway, and it is built to replace that guesswork with an accurate working model. We begin with design rather than with children, because the single most useful reframe available to a parent is that the difficulty of stopping is a manufactured property of the product, not a defect of character in the child holding it.
You'll finish with
- Explain how variable reward, infinite scroll, autoplay, streaks and engagement-optimised recommendation are deliberately engineered, and stop reading difficulty stopping as a character flaw
- Separate what the evidence genuinely supports about screens, sleep and attention from what has been overstated in public debate
- Write a family digital agreement your children help shape, and hold it when it is tested
