A MUST SEE movie for parents in the digital age!
Expert Panel immediately after the show:
· Dr. Jessica Buss, Ph.D. (clinical psychologist with an emphasis in Health Psychology)
· Chris Woehl, Executive Director of Technology, LTISD
· Dr. Breithaupt, OD, The Optometry Center for Vision Therapy
*also included: A School Resource Officer, a Lakeway parent, and a speech language pathologist
SCREENAGERS addresses the most pervasive parenting issue of our time head on—depicting teen struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction.
This is a great opportunity for all parents in our community to come and learn about managing our children in the digital age. We will have an expert panel for discussion after the movie which should be equally informative. This certainly is not an anti-screen event but rather more about everyone finding balance and positive ways to integrate technology into our lives.
