About This Event

Little MInds, Big Impact: How Scren Time is Affecting Learning & Behavior

Twenty years ago, the iPhone did not exist. Today, our youngest children have regular access to digital media through multiple devices. The reserach is clear: screen time is affecting children's development.

In this session, participants will learn about the latest research on how digital media is affecting children's learning and behavior, and we will discuss how to support healthy child development in today's technology-driven world.

Trainer: Mary Williams, Futures First (formerly Family Conservancy)

Participants will earn two clock hours, and a light meal will be provided.

Free on-site parking is available in the Kansas City PBS front entrance lot and the back gated lot. Parking validation is not required.

Funding for this workshop is provided by Hallmark and the Francis Family Foundation.
