PARENT LAB:  Screen Time – Finding a Healthy Balance (Elementary and Middle School) 

Monday, October 26, 2026
6:00-7:30PM
West Mercer Elementary Library

The ongoing challenge for parents these days is finding a healthy balance for our children’s screen time. Technology is here to stay, so how do we, as parents set limits and help our kids learn the skills to utilize technology while maintaining our well-being?  YFS School-based Counselors, Alina Samko (West Mercer) and Kayla Bocek (IMS), will lead a discussion on how to talk to our kids and build skills to find a healthy balance with technology.
