In our fast-paced screen-filled world, keeping up with your child online can feel like a full-time job. Especially when you’re already juggling work, school pickups, dinner, and everything in between. That’s why the National PTA is launching its 2025 PTA Connected Initiative: to make digital parenting easier, smarter, and more supportive for busy families.
Updated Resources
PTA Connected is a nationwide program that helps families build healthy digital habits. Launched in 2018, the initiative has evolved in 2025 to address today’s most pressing tech topics — like screen time management, online safety, social media pressure, and digital well-being.
The 2025 version includes updated resources, free family workshops, and new partnerships with major tech platforms to help you feel more confident raising kids in the digital age.
