Middle-schoolers and Teens are woefully unprepared for the addictive nature of smartphones and the complex ethics of social media. With guidance, kids can grow into healthy users of devices and have a positive influence on virtual communities. STEP 1: Start Slow—There should be no screen time for children younger than 18 months and less than an hour a day until age 5. Set limits for children over 6. Do you need to be in touch with your 9-year-old about carpooling? Give them an old-school flip phone. STEP 2: School Yourself—If you’re going to be a reliable digital guide, you need to know the terrain. This means trying out ubiquitous mobile games like Minecraft and joining plat- forms like Snapchat, Instagram, and Musical.ly—then spending the time to understand their capabilities and allure. This will also set you up to ‘friend’ or follow your child. STEP 3: - Set Ground Rules—Establish how many hours a day they can use their phone, when they can use it (after homework and chores), and which apps are off-limits (no chatting with strangers). Tell them you’ll have passwords to their phone and any e-mail or social ac- counts. Establishing these guardrails up-front helps prevent heated arguments later. STEP 4: - Delay Social Media—Users must be at least 13 years old to legally use most social platforms, with good reason. Social media requires ethical thinking. Once your child begins engaging with social media, monitor their activity and talk with them if they post something that makes you uncomfortable. The dialogue will reveal how mature a cybercitizen your child has become. STEP 5: - Model Good Behavior—Don’t bring your phone to the dinner table. Keep it in your pocket during conversations. Silence it when you’re in the woods. Show your children that you can control when and how you engage with your own device. https://getpocket.com A Great Big Thank You!! My retirement is bittersweet for me. I was lucky to spend 24+ years in a job that I loved. When I was in high school, I thought about a career in Library Science, but didn’t trust that I was intelligent enough for that. I went on to get a degree in Social Sciences, so it is kind of ironic my longest career has taken place at Rawlins Library. I have experienced so many evolving changes in the library field. I believe libraries are integral in teaching how to access the vast amounts of information that exist and to also supply the materials when possible. There are so many things I will miss, including my super colleagues both inside and outside of Rawlins; patrons (friends) I have come to know over the years; that Christmas morning feeling when a new box of books arrives. There are things I will not miss, also. I will not miss leaving home in nasty weather; or time clocks; or paper cuts; or not enough chocolate on the break table. –Kidding I am looking forward to doing some of the things I said I would do when I retire. I hope to travel places in the U.S., and maybe some places further away. I will be able to spend more time with family and friends. I really am planning on reading some of those books I brought home, and then had to return because I did not have time to read them. People ask, “What is the first thing you will do when you retire?” I have decided to thoroughly enjoy turning off my alarm clock! I sincerely thank everyone for letting me have this great work history. Judy Ulvestad .
