St. John Vianney Catholic School – How to Create a Tech-Ready Home with PYE

How to Create a Tech-Ready Home: Embracing the Tension between Careful, Countercultural, and Confident (Parents and Caring Adults Only)

Although it’s not possible to create an internet-safe home, it is possible to create one that is internet
SAFER. After well over a thousand presentations to parents, grandparents, and caregivers just like
you, and countless conversations, we’ve observed what it takes to have kids learn to use technology
well. And we call it the PYE Core Values. This presentation breaks down these 5 foundational ideas.
Do you know what’s better than any parental control? Do you know why your router is the most
important digital device in your home? Do you understand the toxic trio? Do you know why TikTok is so
intoxicating to young brains? Get ready for a ton of practical tips, solutions, and ideas you can
implement.

Our desired outcomes include:

• A deep understanding of why multiple layers of protection are necessary and how they work together.
• Awareness of the hardware and software tools that support your digital goals.
• How to use practical solutions so that your family is prepared, balanced, and protected online.
