In her session ‘Kids, Teens and Screens’ Kristy will explore:

• Why young people are susceptible to potential pitfalls online given their brain development
• Why the online world is appealing to children and adolescents
• Why attention management is the most critical skill for the digital world
• A simple and realistic formula to determine healthy screen time limits for children and teens
