Technology can be a huge help in our everyday lives. But sometimes we can feel like we are always in front of a screen, and we can lose time with the people and things that mean the most. To help us find a balance of technology that feels right for our families, Google has created lots of helpful tools and resources. So today I’m sharing how some of these tools have helped me and my family to find a balance and improve our digital wellbeing.

Sloths are Slow: A Children’s Book about Sloths
Sloths are entertaining animals. I feel like they have been given more attention in pop culture in recent years. (Partially thanks to the funny sloth character in Zootopia, and Kristen Bell’s intense love of them). Why do we find these animals so enjoyable?
