Are you watching children become accustomed to technology at increasingly younger ages, drawn to stimulating online content, video games, and early social media exposure?

In Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition, Dr. Ruston takes a deeply personal approach, exploring the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, while seeking solutions to challenges such as setting limits, managing device distractions in school, moderating video game use, and navigating exposure to online content at too young an age.

Featuring insights from experts such as Jonathan Haidt, Anna Lembke, and many others, along with real-world stories from families and schools, the film examines how technology impacts children’s development and offers practical guidance to help kids build healthier relationships with screens and find balance in a digital world.

Please note: The original Screenagers film focuses on the impact of the digital age on teenagers, specifically looking at social media, video games, internet addiction, and academics. Screenagers Elementary School Age Edition is specifically tailored for younger parents of elementary school-age kids, focusing on the unique challenges and developmental needs of younger children. This edition offers age-appropriate strategies for building healthy digital habits early.
