Dr. Aric Sigman will be giving three presentations on managing screen time and dependency on 16th March. The first two of these presentations will be during the school day - one presented at the Lower School to students in Year 6, and the second at the Upper School, presented to all Upper School students. The third presentation will be in the evening at 7.00pm in Jubilee Hall, 6 Friern Barnet Lane, for all interested parents. An email asking for registration for the evening event has been sent out. As we know, young people of all ages are watching more recreational screen media than ever before and many are finding it difficult to stop. So-called screen media should be a tool and not a burden or a health risk, and these are some of the issues that Dr. Sigman will explore. He will tailor make his presentations so as to best suit the needs of the audience. Contributions to the newsletter: The newsletter is put together with content from the Dwight Community.
