SUMMARY:Screen Time & Growing Minds: What the Science Tells Us
DESCRIPTION:Screen Time & Growing Minds: What the Science Tells Us\nSeries Kickoff Event with Dr. Bill Hudenko\nSunday\, October 19 | 4 PM – 5 PM\nFree | Registration Required \nJoin us at VINS Nature Center for an essential conversation about one of today’s most challenging parenting topics: social media\, phone use\, and creating healthy digital boundaries for our children. \nDr. Bill Hudenko\, a professor at Dartmouth College\, Geisel School of Medicine and Chief Clinical Officer of Jimini Health\, will kick off a series of events designed for all parents—whether your children haven’t yet entered the digital world or are already navigating smartphones and social media.

Whether you’re dreading the phone conversation or already managing devices daily in your house\, this is an invitation to join other Upper Valley families for real conversations about the challenges we all face. No perfect parents required—just caring ones doing their best in our digital age. \n*After this event\, participants will have the opportunity to sign up for ongoing conversations and future speakers based on life stage: parents of teenagers\, parents of younger kids\, not currently parenting but curious\, etc. Depending on interest\, we may host an event specifically for teenagers as well. These will run through the fall and winter at the Nature Center. \n\nAbout Bill Hudenko\, Ph.D.\nResearch Assistant Professor of Psychological & Brain Sciences\, Dartmouth College\nAdjunct Assistant Professor of Psychiatry\, Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine\nChief Clinical Officer\, Jimini Health \nBill Hudenko\, Ph.D. has significant experience in the fields of both mental health and technology.
