Attention, Attachment & Addiction: Role of Media in Early Development

This workshop brings you some of the most compelling research on media overuse and its impact on early development. We’ll explore how heavy exposure to screens can interfere with a child’s ability to focus, form secure attachments, and grow socially and emotionally — all foundational to healthy learning and relationships. But this isn’t just about what’s going wrong. It’s also about what we can do. Educators will leave equipped with current, research-backed knowledge they can share with families, along with practical, classroom-friendly strategies. The workshop also introduces Imaginative Education — a powerful, story- and emotion-driven approach to re-engaging children in a world beyond screens.
