The iParent Approach

Created by a child psychologist working with families at the outset of the early 2000’s digital culture shift, Dr. Adam Pletter developed a parenting approach, combining behavior modification theory with parental control systems, to better support mental health and child development. Based on years of consultation and psychotherapy, iParent 101 embraces our evolving relationship with technology and strives to balance essential digital life skills with basic health concerns around safety and self-regulation. Using built-in device restrictions and Digital Access Boxes™, the iParent 101 program aims to support your child’s exploration and growing digital independence in a safe way. The course is based on real-life parent questions and provides simple and accessible solutions.

“Dr. Adam Pletter’s course takes the mystery out of digital parenting. He shows you step by step how to keep your children safe and set clear digital boundaries. If you think your child is responsible enough to use electronic devices, then make sure your child knows how to use them responsibly.”
