About Workshop
Schools report experiencing difficulties when having to advise families about healthy screen time: "what shall we say/suggest as educators?" -they wonder. In this study we analysed three focus groups -addressed to heads, parents and teachers- in order to explore perceptions and beliefs about healthy screen time. With this purpose in mind, we also asked our subjects to answer a questionnaire. This mixed study allowed us not only to analyse how far/close were their statements from the paediatrics guidelines, but also how to bring them closer to our subjects. For this last matter, we organized a training for them adapted to their needs. In our workshop, we will present the tips (“solutions”) we shared with them in this training in order to foster healthy screen time for children aged 0-15. Our study was supported by Kenkolab (https://www.kenkolab.org/), which will be presented as well during the workshop. 

*We are delighted that we will have Special Workshop Trainers and Topics will be announced
