‘Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age’
Young people spend an average of 6.5 hours a day on cell phones, computers and other devices. That figure doesn’t include the time they use screens for school and homework. ‘Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age’ is a documentary that explores the effect all this screen time is having on the lives of young people and their families. Physician and mother of two Dr. Delaney Ruston became interested in this issue when she found herself constantly struggling with her two children about screen time. Rushton felt guilty and confused, not sure how to monitor online homework or set the best limits, especially around the use of mobile phones, social media, and gaming. Hearing repeatedly how other parents were equally overwhelmed, she realized that this is one of the biggest, unexplored parenting issues of our time. Ticket sales, along with the generous support of Keys School, will go towards covering event fees.
Doors open at 6:30, film starts at 7pm. Teenagers welcome!
