About this Workshop

If you’re raising a child born after 2010, you’re parenting Generation Alpha. Generation Alpha is the first group of kids who entered the world surrounded by technology. Many started using devices before they could talk. Screens are designed to keep kids engaged, making them especially hard for Gen Alpha kids to turn off. Watch Peace At Home expert Amy Alamar, EdD, as she defines strategies that tackle this challenge with calm, clarity, and even optimism. She’ll help answer, Why is my child so addicted to screens? and more.

Are screens harming my child’s mental health?

Nearly all teens use social media, but its long-term impact is still unclear. Many parents are concerned about screen addiction and emotional well-being.
