LENOX — How can you help your child adapt to a rapidly changing digital landscape? Dr. Jill Walsh, a researcher and lecturer at Boston University, has some answers.
On Monday, Walsh will kick off National Screen-Free Week with a free talk from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Lenox Memorial Middle and High School’s Duffin Theatre focused on practical strategies to help children navigate today’s digital world. The talk is open to Lenox Public School families and community members, and no registration is required.
“Technology is one of the most important conversations we can have with our kids right now, and we want to ensure families don’t have to navigate this alone,” Superintendent William Collins said in a statement. “We’re grateful Dr. Walsh is joining us.”
The talk will be preceded by interactive student workshops during the school day on Monday that will give late-elementary and middle school students an opportunity to “reflect on their own digital habits, connection and emotional health, as well as a voice in shaping how technology fits into their lives,” the district said in a statement.
