Smartphone Free Childhood’s hybrid event ‘Let’s Talk: Children & Smartphones’ will be convened by Aylesbury MP Laura Kyrke-Smith on Monday 6 October from 7.30pm – 9.00pm at Aylesbury High School.
Families can join in person or online for an evening of short talks from a panel of speakers. The talks will be followed by open discussion / Q&A session from the audience on the impact of smartphones on children.
Smartphone Free Childhood (SFC) is a grassroots movement run by parents, for parents, which empowers parents to delay giving their child a smartphone. SFC parents living in Buckinghamshire have organised this event for local parents and teachers to hear about the impact of smartphones on children and to discuss potential solutions. In the absence of government action to regulate tech companies or provide clear instruction to schools, how can we, as parents, collectively act to protect our children from the potential harms of unrestricted access to social media and the online world?
