June 2, 2026: Cell Phones: What's Healthy, What's Not, and What we can do to support our kids, by Hanna Beach
The upcoming Parent Engagement Presentation with Hannah Beach will explore Cellphones: What's Healthy, What's Not, and What We Can Do to Support Our Kids. In a warm and conversational session, Hannah will address the growing concerns many families are experiencing—children feeling anxious, constantly connected to their phones, and increasingly isolated or disengaged. While technology itself is not the problem and offers many benefits, the presence of devices that travel with children has significantly changed childhood and adolescence, impacting learning, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. This presentation will offer practical, realistic strategies families and schools can use to make small changes that lead to meaningful impact, helping children and youth develop healthy relationships with technology and supporting them to grow, learn, and thrive.
