Have you been thinking about how to approach smartphone and social media use with your kids?
Are you considering the right time to get them a phone, or how to enforce boundaries with the one they already have.
Are you wondering what other parents in our community are doing and thinking on this topic?
Let’s get together and talk about it! Underhill Central School parents Andrea Parikh and Kate Yeh will get the conversation going with a four-part discussion series on the book “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness,” by Johathan Haidt. Andrea and Kate say that although it’s a heavy title, it offers real, actionable solutions. The discussion series is presented in partnership with ReConnect, a growing group of Mount Mansfield Unified Union School District families working to build community around the impacts of smartphones and social media on our kids.
Meetings will be held at Deborah Rawson Memorial Library from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on the following Tuesdays, focusing on different sections of the book:
January 21: Part 1 and Part 2
February 18: Part 3
March 18: Part 4
April 15: Recap and Looking Ahead: What’s next for our community?
Those with a Deborah Rawson Memorial Library card can borrow the book or put it on hold via our online catalog; or on Hoopla (audiobook), or Libby (ebook and audiobook) at https://www.drml.org/collections/elibrary
Please join us for any or all of the gatherings, regardless of how much you have or have not read or listened to the book.
