The Kansas Local Interagency Coordinating Council Fall Retreat is a free, virtual opportunity appropriate for all early educators and families. This year’s retreat is titled, “Screen Time and Young Minds: What’s the Real Impact – And What Can We Do Instead?”
Register here at ksdetasn.org/events for this virtual session that will be 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., on Oct. 24.
We live in a digital world surrounded by computers and technology everywhere we go. This can make it increasingly more complex to raise a child to be physically, mentally, and socially healthy. Children need the same three things they've always needed to grow and develop: play, conversations with other people, and interacting with objects in the real world. This training will provide information about building a child's brain for educational success. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the effects of screen time on young brains and with several strategies and tips that can be applied into daily family life.
Angie Neal, policy advisor for speech-language services and early literacy at the South Carolina State Department of Education, and Elizabeth Brunscheen-Cartagena, family life and resource management agent for K-State Research and Extension - Sedgwick County, will present.
