Event Details
This insightful documentary is a must-attend for anyone in our community interested in learning more about the impact of screen time on young children. Designed to educate and engage parents, the event will shed light on the potential risks of screen use and foster meaningful conversations among families in the Wood River Valley about this increasingly important issue.

Afterwards, attendees are encouraged to continue the discussion over dinner at La Cabanita, just one block south.
About the Documentary
Are you watching kids become too accustomed to using technology at too young an age? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her kids and learned that the average kid spends many hours a day looking at screens. She wondered about the impact of all this screen time and the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time.
In Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition, Dr. Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she explores the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics, and internet addiction.
Through insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions for empowering kids to navigate the digital world and find balance.
Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition addresses issues such as smartwatches in class, unhooking from and monitoring video gaming, social media pressures, exposure too young, and what research shows is a healthy amount of screen time. The documentary offers many solutions to these and other challenges.
Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition, is an essential watch for all those looking to address and support mental wellbeing in the digital age.
