GPS Parent Series: The Amazing Generation: Breaking Up with Screens and Unlocking Kids’ Potential in a Tech-Filled Environment

  • May 05, 2026

DOUBLE FEATURE EVENT: Tue, May 5, 2026 @ Noon-2:00 pm and 7-9:00 pm CT

Join us for a special two-hour Zoom event hosted by GPS, featuring Catherine Price, co-author with Jonathan Haidt of “The Amazing Generation.” This event will delve into the critical issues surrounding adolescent development, particularly the impact of smartphones and social media. Participants will learn how constant device use damages kids’ focus, deep thinking, and ability to create new, lasting memories. This is a topic that has been brought to global attention by Haidt’s influential book, “The Anxious Generation,” which explores how these technologies are affecting young people.
