Worried your child is spending too much time on screens — but not sure what’s really going on? This unique webinar, led by a 14-year-old who sees it firsthand, offers an honest look into how screen overuse is affecting today’s tweens and teens.

What You’ll Learn:

- Why “just 10 more minutes” turns into hours of scrolling
- How screen time affects family connection and communication
- What kids really think about their screen habits
- Actionable tips to help your child unplug — without constant arguments
