Press Release: Parenting Gen Beta: Insights from Dr. Justin Coulson on Raising Tech-Savvy Kids
In an age where smart technology is integrated into daily life, Dr. Justin Coulson shares valuable insights into parenting Gen Beta, the first true digital natives, born between 2025 and 2039. Unlike previous generations, who learned to adapt to technology, Gen Beta will grow up immersed in AI, automation, and connectivity, fundamentally shaping their childhood experiences.
Recent research by Samsung indicates that 80% of Millennial and Gen Z parents—dubbed Gen MZ—are already leveraging smart tech to enhance their parenting. Over half report using devices as educational and entertainment tools, reflecting a growing trust in technology as a partner in child-rearing.
Dr. Coulson emphasizes the transformative role of smart technology in parenting. He suggests that maintaining consistent routines through automation can reduce stress and foster a sense of safety for children. Tools like Samsung’s SmartThings app allow caregivers to manage daily schedules seamlessly, ensuring predictability in busy households.
Staying connected is another crucial aspect of modern parenting. Smart technology enables caregivers to monitor loved ones remotely, providing reassurance and emotional closeness even from afar. Moreover, encouraging independence among children is highlighted as essential, using programmable routines that empower older kids and teens while alleviating the caregiver’s mental load.
Dr. Coulson advocates for a shift in perspective toward tech as a collaborative tool for learning. By engaging with children in discussions about technology, ethics, and privacy, families can foster responsible digital citizens.
As Gen Beta becomes the most technologically integrated generation in history, Dr. Coulson calls on parents to embrace smart technology while upholding human values, ensuring their children grow connected, confident, and capable of navigating the digital landscape.
