PARENTS, YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!

A new documentary, Your Attention Please, is now available to stream, and I encourage every parent to take the time to watch it.

The film explores how social media and addictive technology are shaping childhood, mental health, attention, and human connection.

Through the stories of families, researchers, whistleblowers, and young people pushing for change, it highlights both the consequences of our digital world and the growing movement to do something about it.

What I particularly appreciate is that this isn’t just another warning about technology. It’s also about solutions, advocacy, and taking back control.

Our children deserve a childhood that isn’t dictated by algorithms.

🎬 Watch the film here:

Please share with other parents!

WANT LESS SCREEN TIME IN NY SCHOOLS?

There’s a bill for that.

The NY FOCUS Act

Here’s how parents can help.

The FOCUS Act would move NY schools toward:

*More books, paper & hands-on learning
*Less unnecessary screen use
*Restrictions on generative AI on school devices
*More parent choice over technology use

BUT IT HASN’T PASSED.

The FOCUS Act is currently proposed legislation.

If you want your representatives to hear from you, now is the time.

✅ Read the bill

✅ Contact your NY State Senator
✅ Contact your Assemblymember
✅ Tell your school board you want intentional—not default—technology use
✅ Share this with other NY parents

Parents have a voice in how technology is used in our children’s classrooms.

Use it.
