Small Brooklyn Webinar: Managing Screen Time Struggles @ 12:30pm

About this event

Managing Screen Time Struggles

With new phone bans in schools, bestselling books like The Anxious Generation, and growing concerns from mental health experts, the effects of screens and social media on developing kid & teen brains are under more scrutiny than ever. Experts like Jonathan Haidt (The Anxious Generation), Jean Twenge (iGen, 10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High-Tech World), and Children and Screens Institute have recommended reduced exposure, but parents are left trying to reset habits at home—often facing strong pushback and big emotions from kids.

In this webinar, Dr. Rebecca Abbott-Sinclair of Small Brooklyn Psychology will share clear, practical strategies for navigating these challenges. You’ll learn how to manage kids’ emotional reactions, ease your own worries, and set healthy boundaries around screen time. Dr. Abbott-Sinclair will offer guiding principles and real-life examples to help you feel more confident and calm in tackling screen-time struggles. She'll also participate in a Q&A session with participants, moderated by Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani.

When: Wednesday, October 22nd Time: 12:30pm - 1:30pm
