Why Digital Wellness Matters Today


As screens become omnipresent—from online classes to gaming and social media—children are spending an increasing number of hours plugged in. While technology has its benefits, unregulated screen time can affect everything from sleep cycles and concentration to emotional development.

The parenting session organized by Ashiana Housing focused on equipping parents to address this challenge through awareness, structure, and creative engagement, ultimately promoting a more balanced and mindful lifestyle at home.

Event Highlights: A Screen-Time Reset for Families


The session was highly interactive and action-oriented, led by Swati Gupta, founder of Joyful Parenting Club and author of Give Your Child Wings. Parents and children participated in hands-on activities like:

  • Digital Goal Setting Worksheets
  • Screen-Free Zone Checklists
  • 14-Day Digital Detox Challenge
  • Family Movie Recommendations
  • YouTube and Podcast Playlists by Age Group

Swati encouraged families to co-create a “digital wellness plan” that would reduce screen dependency and strengthen parent-child connections.

Building Healthy Habits, Screen-Free Zones Checklist


As part of the workshop, families were introduced to the Screen-Free Zones Checklist to create cozy, device-free spaces at home. Here are the suggested zones:

  • Bedroom: No screens after bedtime.
  • Dining Table: Let’s talk, not scroll!
  • In the Car: Enjoy the ride or chat with family.
  • Study Zone: Homework heroes only!
  • Family Time: Dedicate 1 hour daily to no-screen fun.

This simple yet impactful checklist helps foster meaningful interactions and a healthy balance between screen time and real-life connections.

What is the Screen-Free Zones Checklist, and how can it help my family?

The Screen-Free Zones Checklist is a practical guide introduced during the Ashiana Housing parenting workshop. It highlights key areas like bedrooms, dining tables, and study zones to designate as screen-free spaces. This helps families reduce screen dependency and foster more meaningful interactions in a cozy, device-free environment.

The workshop suggested various fun and enriching activities, including curated family movie nights, podcasts like Brains On! and Circle Round, educational YouTube channels like Ted-Ed, and hands-on hobbies such as journaling, crafts, and other offline experiences.

The 14-Day Digital Detox Challenge encourages families to replace screen time with enriching activities, such as outdoor play, reading, or creative projects. Children are also encouraged to journal their experiences and emotions during the detox, helping them reflect on the benefits of reduced screen time and fostering healthier digital habits.
