Screen Time & Young Children
This workshop provides concrete suggestions on how families with young children can create healthy and balanced screen-time habits by introducing predictable routines and developmentally appropriate rules. In addition, it addresses why children have a difficult time transitioning away from screens and how parents can decrease the inevitable moment of conflict when young children are asked to get off technology.
Parents are continuously bombarded with guilt-ridden information about the negative impact screens have on the developing brain, children’s behavior, and overall family life. The digital world is here stay and adults have the responsibility to guide children to use technology responsibly. This workshop is appropriate for parents and caregivers of children 0 – 7 years.
