About Us
Raising Digital Minds is a community of parents, educators, and caregivers committed to raising emotionally strong, curious, and tech-smart children in a screen-filled world.
Our work is grounded in real expertise. We are led by Umme Hawa, a certified parenting educator with a Diploma in Early Childhood Care & Education, advanced certifications in child development, and more than 15 years of hands-on experience as a teacher, teacher educator, social worker, and research consultant. Her insights come not only from professional training but also from the lived experiences of raising children as a working parent.
Because of this blend of personal and professional expertise, every guide we share is practical, evidence-informed, and deeply relatable for today’s families.
We understand the challenges of modern parenting — the screen battles, emotional outbursts, attention struggles, and the constant pressure to balance online and offline life. That’s why we provide science-backed screen-time strategies, emotional regulation tools, printable brain games, offline activities, and real stories from parents just like you.
We are not anti-technology; we believe in intentional tech use. Our goal is to help parents raise emotionally grounded digital natives who thrive with technology instead of being controlled by it.
At Raising Digital Minds, we combine expert knowledge with real-life parenting experience to support you in raising confident, mindful, and resilient kids.
Join us as we raise digital minds with human hearts.
