Notes from Nurse T: Summer Screen Wellness

Making the transition to summer smoother with healthy tech habits

As summer break begins, Nurse T shares practical tips to help XJA families navigate screen time while maintaining our Jesuit values.

Set Clear Boundaries

Establish daily tech limits (1-2 hours maximum of passive screen use) and create tech-free zones during meals and bedtimes for meaningful family connection. Use visible timers or app limiters to help develop self-awareness.

Foster a Positive Digital Footprint

Challenge your son to create something constructive: a summer blog, family newsletter, or curated playlist with reviews. Review these creations together on weekends and celebrate good choices.

Practice Safe Sharing

Remind students to think before posting and review privacy settings together. Build critical thinking around the content they consume and share, helping them become discerning digital citizens.

Thank you, Nurse T, for sharing these practical tips that our XJA families can implement during summer break! Your guidance helps us maintain the balanced approach to formation that is central to our mission.
