Heritage to Support Event on Parenting in the Digital Age
We are pleased to announce our support for an upcoming free event titled ‘Parenting in the Digital Age,’ featuring Dr. Susie Davies, a GP, author, and founder of PAPAYA (Parents Against Phone Addiction in Young Adolescents). This important gathering, hosted by the Cambridgeshire Smartphone Free Childhood initiative, aims to address the growing concerns many families have regarding smartphone use among children.
With over 1,300 parents and caregivers in Cambridgeshire already engaging with the Smartphone Free Childhood initiative, it is clear that this is a pressing issue in our community. Parents are seeking guidance on questions such as the appropriate age to introduce smartphones and how to approach conversations about technology with their child’s school.
Dr Davies will lead a discussion unpacking the complex issues surrounding smartphone use, offering practical solutions that families can implement. The event will also feature remarks by Mr Fletcher, a Q&A session, providing attendees the opportunity to voice their concerns and share experiences.
We hope this event will attract families and schools from across the Cambridge area, fostering a community dialogue on the potential benefits of going smartphone-free in schools. We believe that through collaboration and awareness, we can bring about widespread change, promoting healthier relationships with technology for our children.
