Thursday, January 29 at 6:00 PM
Hopewell Valley Central High School Media Center
"Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition" is a version of the original "Screenagers" movie and addresses issues that elementary school-aged kids, parents and educators are facing, such as smartwatches in class, unhooking from and monitoring video gaming, social media pressures, exposure too young, and what research shows is a healthy amount of screen time.
In the movie, physician and filmmaker Dr. Delaney Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she explores the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics, and internet addiction.
Through insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, "Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition" reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions for empowering kids to navigate the digital world and find balance.
