SCREENAGERS: Growing Up In The Digital Age, is the first feature documentary to explore the impact of screen technology on students and offer parents and families proven solutions that work. What started out as a personal story for one, has grown into a national movement, helping millions of teens and their families better navigate growing up in a digital world.
SCREENAGERS: Growing up In The Digital Age, has been screened more than 7,000 times to over two million people in more than 60 countries around the world. Multiple screenings are happening daily in communities across the globe and the NJSD Technology Department is really excited to offer this one-time screening event.
Physician and filmmaker, Delaney Ruston decided to make SCREENAGERS when she found herself constantly struggling with her two children over screen time. Ruston felt guilty and confused, wasn’t sure what limits were best especially around mobile phones, social media, gaming, and how to monitor online homework. Hearing repeatedly how other parents were equally overwhelmed, she realized this is one of the biggest, unexplored parenting issues of our time.
