As next week marks Children’s Mental Health Week, the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board alongside the Avon Maitland District School Board is hosting parent and caregiver sessions focused on children’s healthy development in the digital world.
Two events are being held, starting in Clinton at St Annes Catholic Secondary on May 5th from 7-8:30pm. Both events will include a parent and caregiver presentation.
Author and journalist Katherine Martinko will examine the impacts of screen time for students on the affect on well being and provide clear, evidence informed guidance to help parents and caregivers establish healthy technology and social media boundaries.
Attendees will learn practical strategies for setting manageable screen time limits, supporting meaningful face to face interaction, and using simple, supportive language to guide conversations about technology use at home.
