Help Design a New Parenting Resource

Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development, a national nonprofit focused on children's digital well-being, is exploring a parent-facing text messaging program that would provide families with accessible, evidence-based tips to support healthier media use by children and families.

This survey explores interest in such a program and what kinds of short, practical text messages would be useful to support parents in everyday moments, such as bedtime, mealtimes, homework, social connection with family and peers, or conflict around devices. Your input will directly inform what we develop. This survey takes around 3 minutes to complete.

As a thank you, participants will have the option at the end of the survey to enter a drawing for a $50 gift card.
