Growing Mindful Families in a Digital World
Mindful You is a nonprofit helping children, youth, and families build healthy, mindful relationships with technology. Through programs like Screen Time, a children’s book about a boy’s first phone, and Reading is Lit, which brings literacy to life in California schools, Mindful You inspires learning and curiosity.
For parents and students, we have Workshops that offer practical strategies to navigate technology at home, fostering engagement, connection, and mindful moments. Mindful You is dedicated to helping families thrive in balance with the digital world.
Kids Are Spending More Time on Screens Than Ever—Screen Time Helps Families Build Healthier Digital Habits
Teens spend an average of seven hours and 22 minutes on their phones a day, and tweens -- ages 8 to 12 -- are not far behind, at four hours and 44 minutes daily.
Screen Time chronicles the story of Leo receiving his first cell phone. He is initially overwhelmed by the influence of social media and the internet but eventually finds his way through mindfulness and self awareness.
It’s a perfect book to kick off a conversation with children as they begin their relationship with technology and to support better boundaries with it.
