SCREENAGERS
:
Growing Up in the Digital Age, a documentary about the biggest parenting issue of our time.
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her own kids and learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens. She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time - friction she knew all too well. The
SCREENAGERS documentary
reveals how tech time impacts kids' development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.
