Journal Prompt

Final Reflection

How is my own digital thinking evolving as I try to support my child’s?

Digital literacy is not about control or perfection.
It is about visible thinking.

Children learn how to think online by watching adults:

“Raising a digitally literate child means becoming a reflective digital thinker—again and again.”

You do not need to be flawless.
You need to be intentional and transparent in your thinking.
