Struggles over screens? Join us for a public screening of Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age In the Fern Auditorium on January 23rd from 7 – 8:30pm.
Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and also offers solutions on how adults can empower their kids to best navigate the digital world to find balance.
The film is a great way for parents to become aware of concerns and potential solutions around screen time.
Want to bring your kids? Filmmakers generally recommend it for kids age 10/grade 5 & up, and recommend families make their own decisions about this considering the film's style (documentary), length (68 minutes) and content (the kids they follow in the film are in Middle and High School). Fern kids will see a shorter classroom version of the film during the day at school.
After the film, School Psychologist Dr. Paul Szego, Social Worker Sabena Fredric, and School Community Liaison Officer Janet Abramovitz will join us for questions and discussion.
We look forward to seeing you!
