Screen Wise - Madonna King Parent Information Evening
About
As parents, we all want to raise kind and curious, clever and independent children. So what is hampering that, and how do we get around it?Screens. Not just social media, but computer games and streaming, AI and algorithms are all changing our children’s lives - from toddlers through to their late teens.
What do you really need to know, and how can you help your child flourish?
Madonna King has interviewed hundreds of children, parents, teachers and psychologists, scientists, paediatricians and researchers to bring you the most up to date and practical advice.
