A MacArthur Barr Book Discussion Club for Parents/Guardians
Join Us for our Barr Book Discussion Club
Have you noticed your children spend more time looking at their phone than talking with you?
Do they choose to play online games or scroll on digital devices instead of talking or participating in outside activities?
Do they seem to have a short attention span or have difficulty with organization and task completion?
Do they seem moody when they are unable to access their technology devices?
Did you answer yes to any of these questions? If so, you are not alone!
Jonathan Haidt, the author of The Anxious Generation, wrote a whole book about some of these shared concerns. His book covers important information including the impact of smartphones on a child’s development, how technology has changed the concept of “play” and what all these mean to our growing children.
We are hosting an informal book/discussion club where we will get together a few times to explore excerpts from this book, discuss how technology is affecting our children and their lives, and learn about the recommended four steps we can try at home to help our children and ourselves, while also developing healthier relationships with each other and technology.
