What children see in the media and through technology impacts their behavior. Parenting can impact how kids use media and how they interpret the messages they receive through the media.

Week One Home Practice

This week we would like you to pay attention to your own media and technology use. Look out for any alcohol, tobacco, vaping, or cannabis marketing that you come across. Take note of any substance use in the media or substance-related marketing you see. We will ask you about what you saw later on in the TECH Parenting program.

Here are some questions to ask yourself when you come across this content:

  • What values are being communicated about substance use?
  • How might my child interpret these messages?
  • Do these alcohol or substance-related ads map on to what I would be teaching my child about drugs and alcohol?
