‘Screenagers’ is for tweens, teens and adults

Are you watching kids navigate the world through touch screens? Do you and your teen struggle to negotiate screen time? If so, you are one of many concerned parents. 

Kesher (a congregational outreach program of Jewish Family Service funded by the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island) and Congregation Beth Sholom recognize the stress that these issues and questions can bring to family life. In an effort to begin a dialogue about this topic, Kesher and CBS will host a viewing of “Screenagers: Growing up in a Digital Age,” Sunday, June 5, at noon at the Cable Car Cinema 204 S. Main St., Providence.

This event welcomes tweens, teens and adults to engage in a thoughtful dialogue about the issues that arise around all those screens. 

In this film, physician and award-winning documentarian, Delaney Ruston, explores struggles over social media, video games, academics and Internet addiction. By working to inspire real conversation between parents and adolescents, “Screenagers” examines how tech time impacts development and explores solutions geared toward empowering kids to best navigate the digital world.

If you and/or your child are interested in attending this screening, tickets are available through the “Screenagers” website: screenagersmovie.com/find-a-screening/. There will be a facilitated discussion after the viewing.
