Have you ever wondered how screen time affects your child beyond the hours spent on a device? Parents and grandparents are invited to “Growing Whole Kids,” a Smart Families parent education session on Monday, December 7, at 6:30 PM in the Epiphany Worship Center.

This session looks at how technology affects children’s sensory systems, emotional wellness and executive function, and how those effects show up in their behavior and health. Topics include balance and coordination, spatial awareness, attention and focus, motor planning, vision stabilization and emotional regulation.
