Finally…something for your kids to read

I can’t tell you the number of people who’ve asked me for something for their kids to read that will help them understand the harms of constant connectivity. It happens after almost all of my parent workshops as well, parents ask ‘will you talk to my kids?’

The answer is YES…I will come talk to your kids. I have been doing these workshops for about a year now and have come up with some cool content, but nothing compares to what I have access to now…THE book which will now inform my future workshops for kids. I highly recommend you buy this book and/or encourage your kids middle school to use this curriculum.

Schools talk a big game about educating students about social media and healthy device use- but I’m not seeing a lot of this actually coming to fruition. I’ve emailed the CVUSD and LVUSD school boards, sharing this resource. Here it is for you: Kids Brains And Screens by Melanie Hempe. She has other books and resources at www.screenstrong.org

I am excited to share this data with any local school who wants to invite me! Of course, I can’t do the full 8 week course, the schools need to do that. Let’s tell them they need to. Email your principal, teacher, any administrator you know. And let me know what you think of the book.
