How do you help kids build essential habits in a distracted world?

Hi, I’m Cynthia Crossley, the founder of Habyts.

Sure, many of us caring parents recognize the value of technological progress.

But how do we teach kids the habits of motivation, willpower, resilience and other critical character traits – with YouTube, TikTok and Fortnite just a tap away?

As a tech veteran and former owner of a parental controls business, I’ve had overwhelmed parents tell me about their “just-can’t-take-this-anymore-frustration” of seeing non-screen activities squeezed out by screen time.

Believe me, with three boys, I’ve been there myself!

We all recognize the need for a balanced approach – my goal is to find and create tools to help us get there together.
