A group of military kids, with support from the Red Sox and cybersecurity firm Aura, pledged to cut their screen time by half and develop healthier digital habits. Participating in a softball game at Fenway Park, these children, often reliant on digital means to connect due to frequent relocations, are encouraged to engage safely online. Parents like Victoria Parris emphasize the importance of monitoring and setting expectations for their children's digital interactions to ensure safety while granting them some freedom. The initiative highlights the need for a balanced approach to technology usage in military families.
"Part of what happens is that when you're a military family and you move a lot, the way you stay connected to family and friends is through online, through gaming, through social media, through a lot of digital means."
"We've been very 'no' driven because of the safety and all of the crazy things that happen on the internet... It's nice to really turn a lot of those 'no's' to 'yes and.'"
