Parent reviews for Screenagers

This movie was scripted and had no positive parts of smartphones. I seem to wonder why the people in the movie were kids that were being payed or 30 and up adults. Also I saw a kid saying that she will show this movie to HER KIDS.

This "documentary" teaches parents to ignore their children's views and to assume the worst of their children and technology. The scene were the parents sent their adult son to "internet rehab" really ticked me off. Technology is an essential part of our children's lives, and you cannot control every aspect of it forever. The parents in this movie are unreasonable, unrealistic and unhealthy. They teach that it is fine to create rules for your children without their opinion, and to abruptly change them without any consideration of the child's opinion. I'm not saying kids should have all of the power, I'm just saying that these children were old enough to have some control over their lives.

Must-see for this generation of kids and their parents. Media isn't a harmless tool when used excessively and without guidelines.

Screenagers offers a compelling opportunity to begin an educated conversation in the community. The documentary educates families and adolescents, but it also offers education for local communities - teachers, schools, counselors, leaders and decision makers. Smart. Scholarly. Relevant. Packages all the chatter into an informative storyline.

This is a very important film about the impact of cell phones and multi tasking on children and tweets! It's a mothers journey into how a smart phone can impact her daughter and her development and how to navigate the choices she has around parenting and technology! It's shows both a family making important choices around handling the computer and phone in their home and how schools are trying to embrace teaching in a technology world! For any parent who wants advice from a mothe and doctor or who is just curious about phones in their child's life this is a must see and important film!

We were able to have a viewing of this film at a small theater in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Having met the writer earlier in the week and becoming interested in her work. It was so cool to watch with our kids. A great discussion starter on how to balance "screen" time. Amazing that there are a lot of us out there who want to make sure we assist our children to self regulate in life and keep their imagination in play while navigating the technological world we live in. Great job to those who created this film!

Wow! This is a phenomenal movie that captures the defining challenge of parenting today and offers pragmatic solutions. A must see for fathers who can be tone deaf on the issue..

My wife and I saw the movie at the Calgary International Film festival and we knew immediately that the topic of electronics use and impact on families and kids was an issue we had not paid enough attention to, sharing this very informative and educational movie was a great way of giving back to our community and get everybody in our community to work together to deal with Screenagers.

This movie should be watched by all parents, prospective parents, and people that may, at some point in their lives, interact with a human.
