Rowan will highlight the impact of technology use on a child’s physical, psychological and behavioural health. She’ll help attendees understand research and guidelines, identify critical factors to optimize a child’s development, behaviour and learning, and how to implement “Balanced Technology Management” strategies as a parent, educator, and health care professional.
“This is a rare opportunity to acquire in-depth knowledge and skills to curb the negative effects of digital devices on children,” says Monique Gougeon of Alloway Therapy. “Cris has worked as a pediatric occupational therapist for over 30 years, and has researched and found proof of the negative impact of technology on children.”
“The biggest misconception about digital devices is that they are safe and harmless for children,” says Cris Rowan. “The one thing that can help you change the negative impact is to understand the research. Once you know the facts, you’ll make better decisions to ensure a child’s positive growth and success.”
