6:15pm-8:00pm
Fort Wayne
Cost: free
Screenagers is a movie targeted towards parents and young people ages 10 years old and up. The average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens. Even for parents who regulate and limit their children’s screen time, it still plays a role in the development of the child. This movie explores what type of an impact screen time, media, video games, and smart phones has on young people. Screenagers reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance. The movie is a very sympathetic, sane, and practical look at the way millions of teens are struggling with phones and games and technology in general. The license for Screenagers has been paid and there will be no charge to attend, so please invite your neighbors to join us. This movie does not try to demonize screen time, but simply equips parents with the tools to understand and find balance.
