Celebs who limit their kids' use of technology

"Sunday Funday, they work towards that because they don't get to use their iPads during the week, or play video games or anything because it's school time. And they have to be good in school and then they get Sunday Funday. It's something I made up so they could work towards it and behave," said Lopez.

The former supermodel allocates screen time strategically. She does so by letting her kids use their iPads on planes. "Normally, there's a certain amount of time they can play, but when we're on the airplane, the sky is the limit. By the time we land, they have square eyeballs," Klum said.

Celebs who limit their kids' use of technology

Victoria Beckham wants to protect her daughter from social media

06/07/22 | StarsInsider

CELEBRITY Parenthood

Technology is a wonderful thing and can indeed be a godsend in certain occasions, but like anything else, too much of it can be harmful. This is particularly true for children, who are now born into a world dominated by tech.

Restricting your kids' screen time and use of technology can be hard, but it's not impossible. Many celebrity parents do exactly that, and some have very peculiar methods!

For Victoria Beckham, that means keeping her daughter away from social media while she goes through puberty. Speaking to Vogue Australia, the former Spice Girl recently shared that she's worried about her 10-year-old daughter Harper's self-esteem once she goes online. “Harper isn’t on social media, so we don’t have to worry about [body-shaming] just yet,” she shared. “But seeing how cruel people can be, yes, it really does [concern me].”

The fashion designer believes that strong communication within the family and making sure Harper surrounds herself with good people will be key to build a strong self-esteem that can withstand things like social media trolls. “But it is quite terrifying, I can’t lie," she added.

Browse through the following gallery and get to know the famous parents who monitor their kids' use of technology.
