Screenagers came to life for two main reasons. The first: experience and science have shown us that excessive screen time can affect kids negatively. The second: the fact that there is now such an extreme pull of screens on kids, parents need support to thoughtfully help their children to have time off screens.
Given this is the biggest parenting issue of our time, we knew that a movie is a great start but that a real movement is needed and thus we created Tech Talk Tuesday (TTT). WE WOULD LOVE YOUR HELP TO HAVE IT SPREAD AND HELP MORE FAMILIES.
You can post it on Facebook, Twitter or email it to someone:
TTT is all about giving ideas each week that foster ongoing calm, short conversations with between kids and their parents, teachers and their students, and others.
We have lovingly written 46 weeks of TTT thus far! Click here to browse and I bet you will find a topic you have wanted to talk with your family about but didn't yet do it. Now is a great time!
This week is about the value of TTT and how we can all help to make it grow!
As well as our weekly blog, we publish videos like this one every week on the Screenagers YouTube channel

The Pew Research Center recently released findings from a study conducted in the Fall of 2023, which has important stats that can help inform our parenting and spark essential conversations with our youth.
