South Georgian Bay author, Katherine Martinko, will be at L.E. Shore to discuss her first book Childhood Unplugged: Practical Advice to Get Kids Off Screens and Find Balance.
Katherine will talk about the importance of reclaiming childhood from devices and how to go about implementing a digital minimalist philosophy in your home with kids of all ages. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A, where listeners can ask questions and share their own experiences.
Screens are everywhere. Children spend an average of 7.5 hours on digital devices every day with profoundly negative consequences. While some tech may “amplify” real-life experiences, the vast majority undermines it by limiting physical activity, creating anxiety, or damaging self-esteem. Childhood Unplugged takes a bold approach to creating healthy boundaries around the use of digital media.
All are welcome. Books will be available for sale.
