Digital Parenthood:
An Aura Initiative
Since 2020, global social media use surged by 20%, with kids aged 8-18 spending an average of 7.5 hours daily on screens (CDC). At the same time, two-thirds of parents think parenting is harder today than it was 20 years, citing the overuse of technology as the reason (NIH.gov).
Aura is breaking down barriers between children and parents to encourage conversations around healthy online behaviors. As a leader in family online safety, Aura is investing in this Digital Parenthood initiative to open up that dialogue.
Raising a Connected Generation
Aura’s Digital Parenthood Summit
To kickstart this national conversation, we hosted a one-day gathering of 300+ top advocates, scientists, public policy makers and leaders in the parent community. The Summit featured critical discussions on parenting, technology, and public health. Session recordings will be be available soon for all to watch and learn from.
