Parenting in the Age of Digital Distraction

Is all screen time bad?

Learn how families can create balance with screen time, why screen time matters and how to talk to kids about it in this workshop by Emily Cherkin, nationally-recognized screen time consultant.

More than ever families are struggling to confront the screen time issue: whether for entertainment, work, or school, lines have blurred. Is all screen time bad? How much is too much? Is it possible to find balance?

The Screentime Consultant, Emily Cherkin, will present up-to-date research about kids, families and screen time. She will present ways parents can talk to their children, and discuss why this ultimately matters for their future mental and emotional health.
