Digital Wellness: Helping Families Navigate the Online World

Detective Adam Edwards from the Bordentown Township Police Department, alongside Mrs. Jodie Glenn from the Bordentown Regional School District, recently led a Digital Wellness presentation for parents and caregivers—focused on what kids are actually navigating online, and how we can better support them.⁠

From screen time to social media to AI, the conversation covered a lot—but the goal was simple: give families tools that feel practical, not overwhelming.⁠

If you weren’t able to attend (or want to keep the conversation going at home), we’re sharing a few helpful resources:⁠

• Fairplay’s Online Harms Prevention Action Kit (AI, gaming, screen use + more)⁠ https://fairplayforkids.org/pf/onlineharmskit/

• The American Academy of Pediatrics’ “5 C’s of Media Guidance:" A helpful, age-based approach to navigating screen time with kids⁠: https://bit.ly/3OhhMRt

• The Mental Health Coalition’s “Time Well Spent Challenge”⁠ https://www.thementalhealthcoalition.org/time-well-spent/
