This is a free talk presented by Katherine Martinko -- a Canadian
writer and editor, and the author of
"Childhood Unplugged: Practical Advice to Get Kids Off Screens and
Find Balance" (2023).
An outspoken proponent of digital minimalist
parenting, and a mother of three, Katherine writes and speaks frequently on the importance of disconnecting from devices in order to reconnect with creative play, nature, and each other. Katherine educates and empowers parents to cut back on screen time in manageable ways. Her nonjudgmental approach encourages families to evaluate the role of digital media in their lives and use it as a tool, not a toy.
This talk will be of interest to a wide audience that includes, but is
not limited to, parents of young children, as it will encourage
everyone in attendance to examine our use of digital resources, in
addition to suggesting parenting strategies for mitigating the effects
of social media and screens on the children.
