Online Thursday, June 20, 2024 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

We’ve seen an increase in research on the damage media is doing to the well-being of our children. 

However, we live in a world that has become more integrated with technology.

 How do we find balance to promote creativity, imagination and engagement in this screen-dependent world? 

This webinar will examine current research on the impact of screen time on young children's emotional and social development.

 It will also provide educators with resources to enhance young children’s imaginative capacities via the education frameworks of Imaginative Education.
