The InFormed Parent with Suzanne Phillips

S1 E8: Screen Schooled


Listen Later

It’s no secret screens are invading our children’s environments–including their classrooms! Yet, you might be surprised to know only a sliver of the 6-9 hours a day they spend on their screens is actually spent on school work. Veteran teachers and co-authors of Screen Schooled, Matt Miles and Joe Clement, join Suzanne to discuss the negative impact screens are having on students’ focus, critical thinking, problem-solving, and relationships. “When you give that phone or tablet to a child, you’ve given them a burden. They might not see it that way…but what you’ve done is erected a barrier between other humans, academic content, and their brains,” said Joe. Tune in to get informed on the real impact of technology in our schools and learn how you can make a difference in your child’s brain development and learning.

. . . . Suzanne Phillips is a speaker, parenting and leadership coach, and podcast host with THINQ Media. With a deep passion for discipleship and intentional legacy, Suzanne has founded two hybrid schools and Beacon Parent, a national ministry with a mission to educate, equip and empower parents to live out God's design for family by shedding light on current culture and education through a biblical worldview.
