Last spring a book was released that solidified some of the most important research affecting your child. The book is The Anxious Generation by social psychologist, Jonathan Haidt. The ripple effect of his reporting has been nothing short of monumental, and has sparked major changes in some school districts.

We need your input concerning how the research will affect Christian Academy and your child. Before Christmas break we hosted two first-ever parent town hall meetings to discuss how this might affect our Christian Academy culture. The parents in attendance encouraged us to offer more opportunities so that more of you could weigh in. Please look at the following options and sign up to attend! There are limited spots for each.

What topics does the research hit on? Mental health, smart phones, social media, and how our kids play. It affects our kid’s social, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing – and it affects us too! You do not have to have read the book to attend!

We promise to be concise and begin & end on time. Here are the upcoming dates. Click on the date to sign up:
