The Family Guide to Screen/Life Balance: What to Do About Tech & Kids

An Evening with Catherine Price, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Amazing Generation and How to Break Up With Your Phone

Screen time battles, smartphones, social media, and the never-ending question of how much technology is too much. For today's parents, navigating the digital world with kids can feel overwhelming. But what if it didn't have to be?

Join us for an insightful and empowering evening with Catherine Price, bestselling author of How to Break Up With Your Phone, The Power of Fun, and The Amazing Generation, co-authored with Jonathan Haidt.

Drawing from her bestselling books and research into our relationships with technology, Catherine will explore how families can rethink screen time, build healthier digital habits, and help kids develop more intentional relationships with their devices.

Rather than focusing on restrictions and rules, Catherine offers a refreshing perspective on how parents can work with their children to navigate technology, encourage independence, and create more opportunities for real-world connection.

Throughout the evening, we'll explore ways to inspire kids to delay smartphones and social media, establish healthier boundaries around technology, and rediscover the importance of friendship, freedom, creativity, and fun.

The evening will feature a 30–40 minute conversation followed by an open audience Q&A, giving guests the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and walk away with practical ideas they can bring into their own homes.

Whether you're raising young children, navigating the teenage years, or simply interested in how technology is shaping the next generation, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
