Addressing the impact of technology on child development and academic performance
25 years ago, ADHD and Ritalin did not exist. Play enhanced physical and mental development through exercise, imagination and connection with other children. Today, 15% of children take some sort of medication for behavior problems. Play is isolated, indoors, sedentary, manufactured and virtual. TV, videogame and internet addictions are becoming the norm.
Zone’in Workshops address these negative effects of technology on child development. Receiving up to date information and useful tools, enables parents, teachers and health professionals to proactively manage the challenging behaviors of the 21st century child.
