With advances in artificial intelligence and graphic design rapidly evolving faster than mainstream youth protections, it's no wonder "screen time" is the #1 concern of parents in 2024 and what many experts consider the root cause of the youth mental health crisis.
The good news is, the ill-effects of excessive screen time that manifest in youth as ADHD, depression, anxiety, sleep issues, irritability, school avoidance, eating disorders, and attention issues can be greatly improved with savvy screen management and intervention guidance from parents.
Those who work with parents & youth benefit from learning these best practices when it comes to screening for digital media overuse (DMO), IEP & 504 screen modifications, and integrative treatment of youth symptoms that fail to improve without addressing excessive screen time.
Learn the latest research on youth neurological development (ages 0-25) relating to screens as it impacts nutrition, movement, learning, and social emotional growth.
Discover why highly intelligent youth, those on the Autism Spectrum and/or with ADHD are even more susceptible to digital addictions, information overconsumption, and overuse of apps and games. Get the inside scoop on how to prevent this and what Big Tech isn't telling you about "parental controls" and government safeguards.
Empower yourself with new information to make informed short and long term decisions how to guide kids online.
Plus evaluate your child or those you serve for a "Screen Sensitivity" and how to hit the reset button with a digital detox to actually UNDO years of overstimulation of the reward pathways - lifting the fog keeping your child from feeling their best and reaching their full potential even if things "seem pretty much okay" right now— they could be much better with a true neurological baseline without digital agitations.
The rapid advances and AI, scams, bullying, and predators can change a minor's life in an instant. Use the latest software to collect documentation of potential harms and be alerted to scary situations to prevent or seek recourse.
Identify important human happiness & developmental benchmarks greatly improved with strategically managed screen time that impact long term success more than just "good grades" and "not doing drugs".
Gain techniques & talking points to ensure your talented child doesn't drop out of college, taking advantage of real life activities and building real relationships to support their future endeavors without an over reliance of leisure tech time spent scrolling or gaming.
Plus, enjoy a catered lunch while connecting with other local parents and professionals who work with children who share similar concerns that screen time could be impeding our childens true sense of self and wellbeing, in a safe space of forward-facing solutions.
