Cherishing childhood
Since 2014 have been an active and public advocate for reclaiming childhood in the face of the digital tsunami, raising awareness of the mental health impacts of screens - smart phones and social media especially.
My book Families in the Digital Age (Hybrid Press, published in 2019) explores the impacts of mobile screens and ways to live well and be emotionally agile in the digital age.
Get in contact if you wish to workshop ideas and tools in your community and advocate with me to help reclaim and cherish childhood.
“Drawing on her meticulous research and personal experience, Toni Hassan points to the ways we – and our children – can escape our addiction to smartphones and other IT devices. For parents who feel defeated by the powerful influence of social media in their children’s lives, this book will sympathise, illuminate, inspire and encourage us to believe there is another, better way to live. Families in the Digital Age is a practical guidebook to the many pathways to better mental health for all of us, but especially our children.”
