Lenore Skenazy on the Importance of Real-World Experiences for Kids

We Are MAMA - a grassroots movement of parents fighting back against media addiction and creating a world in which real-life experiences and interactions remain at the heart of a healthy childhood.

We envision a future where children grow up nourished primarily by interpersonal and embodied experiences — and without being relentlessly targeted by hidden algorithms and commercial messages that exploit emotions for profit. In this future, kids have a right to experience a healthy, balanced childhood in a world where technology serves humanity — not the other way around.

In our ongoing virtual event series, MAMA founder and veteran journalist Julie Scelfo invites you to hear from leading experts on how today's tech-saturated environment is not healthy for kids and how, individually and collectively, we can protect the building blocks of good social, emotional and academic health.
