Helping families in Dubai find balance with technology
Technology is an unavoidable part of modern family life. From online learning and gaming to social media, children are spending more time on screens than ever before. While technology offers opportunities for learning and connection, too much screen time can lead to conflicts, behavioral issues, and even affect sleep or mood. At American Wellness Center in Dubai, our Digital Parenting & Screen Time Management program equips parents with practical tools to set healthy limits, encourage positive digital habits, and reduce daily battles over devices.
Who This Program Supports
This program is designed for families in Dubai who are navigating challenges with technology and screen use, including:
- Parents worried about their child’s excessive time on phones, tablets, or gaming consoles
- Families where screen time causes frequent arguments or power struggles
- Children or teens who struggle to balance online activities with schoolwork and family time
- Caregivers concerned about social media exposure, online safety, or cyberbullying
- Expats in Dubai who want to manage technology use while balancing cultural and academic expectations
No matter the age of your child, this program helps families build healthier, more balanced digital routines.
