WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"I recently took my 9-year-old daughter to a screening of Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition. It not only reinforced and expanded my own understanding, but it also helped her better grasp why we’re so intentional about setting boundaries around devices and social media in our family. She walked away with a clearer sense that those boundaries come from a place of love and care—not just rules for the sake of rules."
-Lauren Bale, parent of 9 year old elementary student in Bend

"I highly recommend watching the Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition movie for both parents and professionals! I loved that the movie came from the perspective of a pediatrician and parent who was able to give both personal and professional insight on how technology is negatively impacting our children. It truly opened my eyes to the importance of informing ourselves in order to protect our children."
