Educate and empower families to spend less time with tech and more time on the essentials of a healthy childhood!
Embedded Files
A framework for schools and community programs!
Families need positive, encouraging messaging about screen time.
They need solutions, not shame or guilt.
Let's Grow Brain P.O.W.E.R. offers both!
Research confirms that parents respond better to positively framed messages about screen time - ones that tap into their aspirations, rather than their fears, and do not trigger shame.
We focus on healthy child development and building human skills that will prepare them for any future. We empower families to reduce time on screens and increase time on the essential activities that children need to grow and thrive.

" Inspired by neuroimaging research in young children regarding relationships between screen time, unplugged activities and skills, relationships and brain development, Katie and Kailan have created a memorable, empowering framework that focuses on what children need to grow up healthy, happy and thriving. The materials are fun, colorful, accessible and evocative. Their message is one that will surely benefit children and their grownups! "

Not only do Kailan and Katie share ideas that increase play and do away with screens, but they also back up their activities with research. "

Screen time will be low if you focus on what helps the brain grow!
" Let's Grow Brain P.O.W.E.R. helped us engage kids and families in our school in a positive discussion about screen time! We used it in the fall, and are using it again this spring to organize a family event. "
