Technology: How to Support Kids and Maintain Balance, with Dino Ambrosi

Social media and entertainment apps are battling for our kids’ time, and their mental health, attention spans, and self-esteem are caught in the crossfire. This technology is designed with powerful algorithms meant to capture and monopolize attention. As a result, kids are developing addictions to social media, games, and their devices, and parents are left wondering what to do and how to prepare their kids.

In this talk, guest speaker Dino Ambrosi, the founder of Project Reboot, will share insight into why tech addiction happens, guide parents on how to talk about screen time with kids—including how to avoid the well-intentioned mistakes parents often make—and offer practical tips for families to maintain balanced relationships with technology. Bring your good questions for the Q&A with Ambrosi.
