Are you finding it tricky to manage your tween’s screen time? Maybe your 10–12 year old is begging for a phone, hooked on gaming, or facing online issues that feel overwhelming. You’re not alone, and there are practical ways forward.
In this honest and research-informed evening, parenting and play advocate Celia Hogan will unpack what’s really going on for tweens in the digital age, and how parents can navigate this stage with more confidence and connection.
We’ll explore the pressures of social media, gaming, and group chats, why tweens can’t just “switch off,” and the real impacts screens are having on sleep, play, friendships, and mental health. You’ll walk away with fresh strategies, new insights, and the reassurance that you’re not the only one facing these battles.
When: Monday 3rd November, 7.00–8.30pm
Where: Opawa Baptist Church, Christchurch
Tickets from: $16

- Clarity on what’s happening online: social media, gaming, cyberbullying, sextortion

- The impact of screens on sleep, friendships, play, and well-being
- Practical tools for setting boundaries: filters, phone delays, and social media rules
- The bigger picture: why play, connection, and being the person they come to matters more than control
