Screenagers - Growing Up in the Digital Age

Feeling guilty and confused about screen time for your children?Not sure what limits are best, especially around mobile phones, social media, gaming, and how to monitor online homework?This is a parenting issue of our time.

On Wednesday 15th May the documentary Screenagers – Growing Up in the Digital Agewill be screened in The Minnamurra Hall, St Philip’s College.

“Screenagers - Growing Up in the Digital Age” goes far beyond exposing the risks of screen time, it reveals multiple approaches on how parents and educators can work with kids to help them achieve a healthy amount of screen time.Meet Hannah, a 14-year old victim of social media bullying who struggled trying to hide her social media use from her mum.And Andrew, whose love of video games turned into an addiction taking him from earning straight A’s to flunking out of college.

Interwoven into these stories, are cutting edge science and insights from thought leaders Peggy Orenstein, Sherry Turkle, Simon Sinek, as well as leading brain scientists who present evidence on the real changes in the brain when kids are on

screens.

This is a free public event and is in association with Relationships Australia and there will be the opportunity to have post screening Q&A.
