About this event
This month's Family Service & Guidance Center Real-World Parenting topic is screen time, social media and your kids.
Our kids are surrounded by mobile devices, smart phones, TVs and computers. They’re barraged with thousands of images and messages every day. Screen time is a fun distraction and can provide some benefits for kids. Too much screen time can also lead to problems, including weight issues, lost creativity, behavioral issues, irregular sleep patterns and struggles at school.
FSGC staff clinician Amy Karr, LMSW, will provide practical information parents can actually use and answer questions. Topics will include:
- What is screen time and why can it be problematic?
- Pro's and con's of screen time
- How you can set limits and ensure that your child's screen time is quality screen time
