Fostering Healthy Screen Habits for Children & Adolescents
In our increasingly digital age, screen dependence is becoming a growing concern. We invite you to join us for a free, 1.5 Credit CE, designed to provide crucial insights into this modern-day issue with our under 18 population. This CE will be a comprehensive session that will delve into key signs that indicate problematic screen use, explore why screens are so captivating, and offer practical strategies to help you and your children cultivate a healthier screen use approach. By participating, you will be better equipped to navigate the digital landscape with your children. Together, let’s understand and address screen dependence to create a balanced, healthier digital environment.
Key Takeaways
-Participants will learn why screens can be so stimulating and addictive for most who use them.
