<v Speaker 1>Bartlesville Public Schools Foundation, Blair Ellis.

6
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Hi kids, Good morning Tom. How are you warm enough

7
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.679
<v Speaker 2>for you? It's gonna be look at about freezing today.

8
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>We're excited about that. Goodness sakes.

9
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, I know we've got some big stuff coming along,

10
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 1>but we also have another list of great things to

11
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>talk about with the schools.

12
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Just fire away, young man. You bet, Thanks, Tom, appreciate that. Yes,

13
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Blair is here with me today. We wanted to start

14
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>off with we're hosting an event the Public School and

15
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Public School Foundation. You know, we've been on here Tom

16
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>for several months talking about social media and cell phone

17
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.200
<v Speaker 2>use and the book The Anxious Generation kind of Generated

18
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 2>has generated a lot of discussion at our school at

19
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 2>all level. We've had on our board agenda now for

20
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:05.079
<v Speaker 2>about seven months in a row, and the result of that.

21
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 2>One of the strategies has come out of that is

22
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>we decided that we needed to try to help and

23
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>we don't have all the answers. I don't think anybody

24
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 2>really does. But what I like about the book The

25
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Anxious Generation, there's some research that comes that tells us,

26
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's some challenge just causing some problems. And

27
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 2>so we're going to host a forum for parents on Tuesday,

28
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 2>January twenty eighth at the High School and the Fine

29
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Arts Cinea auditoriums. We from seven to eight. We'll start

30
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 2>at seven, we'll be finished at eight. So we're going

31
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>to be very cognizant of people's times and we're going

32
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to the point of it is just to share information

33
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.599
<v Speaker 2>with our parents. We want to help. And we have

34
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>a panel. We put a panel together. I'm going to

35
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 2>moderate the discussion. On the panel, it is going to

36
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 2>be Judge Russell Becklaw. We're gonna have a local pediatrician,

37
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 2>doctor Helen Mumpus, Kristin Flick, who teaches at Central Middle School.

38
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 2>She's a longtime elementary teacher and she's going to be

39
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>there as a parent also as a teacher. But she

40
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>has a senior, an eighth grader and a third grader.

41
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 2>She's really involved with k life and it's pretty passionate

42
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>about this topic. And then we have a couple of

43
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>a couple of students. We've got senior Emma Mackey, young lady,

44
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>and then a young man, a junior, Jackson Miller. They

45
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>serve on my advisory council. So that's our panel. There

46
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>is the opportunity we've sent some there's information out on

47
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 2>social media people can submit if they want to submit

48
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 2>some questions or something they want to hear about. But

49
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 2>we're going to give all those folks the ability to

50
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 2>share some information and then hopefully get some have some

51
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 2>dialogue with our audience. This is this is kind which

52
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 2>one to get started. We just want to help and

53
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>so that's all. We want to work together. We can't

54
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>do anything in isolation. You know, the school can't have

55
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 2>some new policy that's going to fix everything. You know,

56
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 2>we make we continue to make adjustments at the school level.

57
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 2>But you know, we all just want to work together

58
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>and prepare our kids, uh for the next step. So

59
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be Tuesday, January twenty eighth, from seven to eight,

60
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>and we have tenderly plan on a couple more of

61
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>these sessions next month at our middle schools, when at

62
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Central and one over at Madison. And this meeting in

63
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 2>particular is going to come after our we have an

64
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 2>enrollment session for incoming freshmen, so a lot of parents

65
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>are gonna be on campus right before that meeting, and

66
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 2>so that's kind of that's why we picked on Tuesday,

67
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>the twenty eighth, and so really looking forward to the meeting.

68
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>We're going to help everyone will share and spread the word.

69
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>It's not just for high school parents, as for anybody

70
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 2>that wants to come, We want you to come out.

71
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you don't have a kid in school,

72
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 2>that's okay, just to come out and come out in

73
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>the information. Yeah, it's really good. So blaringything to add

74
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 2>to that, I.

75
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 3>Just say, you know, the value of having those panelists

76
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.919
<v Speaker 3>is really they're not experts in the fields of cell

77
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 3>phones or technology, but they can all kind of share

78
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 3>their perspectives and what they're actually seeing, whether it's in

79
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 3>the courtroom or in the pediatrician's office, or at home

80
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 3>or in the classroom, what they're seeing. The impact is

81
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 3>of unlimited screens and social media.

82
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 1>When you mentioned Judge Matclaw and I read the story

83
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>earlier today on our website about this, that's the first

84
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 1>thing that crossed my mind. Kids are getting in trouble

85
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 1>because they're mimicking things they see on social media. I'm

86
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 1>very impressed to see that the judge is going.

87
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 2>To be there. Yeah, and he comes. He speaks to

88
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 2>our schools often, we have him come out, and you know,

89
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 2>he's had several Uh, there's a lot of back claws

90
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 2>that come through barns with public schools, there's been a lot,

91
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 2>and so he's really, you know, here to serve. And

92
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 2>it's that's one of the things that bothers me the

93
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 2>most about, you know, with the cell phones and videoing,

94
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>and it's just been it's just part of it is

95
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 2>that you know, people wanting to video things or catch

96
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody doing something or doing something inappropriate and posting it

97
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>that they can try to generate more likes or attention.

98
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 2>And that's just sad. I mean, that's wrong. We should

99
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>be better than that. And and but there's also some

100
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 2>criminal things that can come If you have things that

101
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 2>come across that you share that are inappropriate, you know,

102
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 2>related to pornography, you can get yourself in a whole

103
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of trouble for the rest of your life. And

104
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>so there's that's kind of the extreme of that, you know,

105
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 2>but we do want to share. That's the reality. We

106
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 2>want people to be uh to be aware. And just

107
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>as there are some recommendations that come out in the book,

108
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>and really there's four of them that what the author,

109
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.079
<v Speaker 2>doctor Jonathan Height that he recommends. One is kids don't

110
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 2>need a smartphone before they're in high school. The second

111
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>one is they don't need to be on social media

112
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:18.439
<v Speaker 2>before they're sixteen. And the third is school at school,

113
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>kids really don't need access to their cell phone. And

114
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.120
<v Speaker 2>then four is kids needed far more unsupervised play. They

115
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 2>need to play, and so that's really important. You know,

116
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 2>we've been talking about that a lot too, even at

117
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 2>the school level. How we can do more in really

118
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>teaching our kids and our parents how to play without

119
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 2>having to play on a screen.

120
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, that kind of takes care of two issues. One

121
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 1>the psychological issue of being addicted to the screens and

122
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 1>two actually getting up and moving and perhaps maybe lowering

123
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that obesity level a little.

124
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>That's no, that's exactly right. I know that we made

125
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 2>some adjustments at the school level, and we'll continue to

126
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 2>make adjustments. You know, we used to when we had

127
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>a if we did have a virtual day for elementary kids,

128
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>we would say and devices home. Well, we just soopped

129
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 2>that this year, you know. And so because it is

130
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>a fine line, I think for all of us, because

131
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 2>it's the reality is it's the world that we live in,

132
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 2>and we need to prepare. We need to prepare our

133
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 2>kids for the world. And just like us, you know,

134
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 2>there's now when you know that's happened since the pandemic.

135
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Now if there's a bad weather or there's the ability

136
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, telehealth, there's ability to if you can't get somewhere,

137
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>you need to have a leand to learn how to

138
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 2>have a virtual meeting and what's proper etiquette for that.

139
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>You may be doing a job interview, first round of

140
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 2>interviews are all handled remotely, and so that's the reality.

141
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, we need to make sure that we are

142
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 2>prepared and kids know how to interact in that world.

143
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 2>But but I think as a bigger thing, we also

144
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>need to help them learn, to help them grow. They

145
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 2>need to learn how to live in the world without that.

146
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>You can't live in the world without your phone and

147
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 2>without your social media and learn how to interact with others.

148
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>That's going to be very very interesting. And what's the

149
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 2>next coming up on the twenty Y's Tuesday, January twenty eighth.

150
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be from seven to eight o'clock at

151
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.160
<v Speaker 2>the high School and the Fine Arts Center auditorium. No

152
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.439
<v Speaker 2>registration is required, People just need to show up. We'll

153
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 2>start at seven, we'll be finished at eight, and we

154
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.920
<v Speaker 2>at this point, we're planning on having a couple more sessions,

155
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 2>one over at Central and one at Madison in February.

156
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna kind of build those around some of the

157
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>couple of parent nights that they have scheduled, and we'll

158
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.319
<v Speaker 2>invite everybody to come. I mean, that's a good opportunity.

159
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>And know, if you maybe just have elementary age kids

160
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>and you want to see the middle school that your

161
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 2>kid's going to go to, that's just another opportunity to

162
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>get into the middle school. But really encourage people to

163
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.120
<v Speaker 2>come to that. I know that you know, even hear

164
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.920
<v Speaker 2>about it at the legislative level. You know some states

165
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 2>or the process of banning phones at different levels. Yeah,

166
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's legislators, there's lots of different legislation that

167
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>has been proposed, and who knows what's going to happen

168
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:49.959
<v Speaker 2>this time of year. They haven't gotten the session yet,

169
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:51.800
<v Speaker 2>but I know there's been give them a couple of

170
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>weeks exactly it'll happen. But you know, there's some legislators

171
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>that really are passionate about this topic, and so there

172
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 2>could be some legislation that comes across that we are

173
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.399
<v Speaker 2>for to do some things, but the reality is, I

174
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 2>don't want to do something. I want us to control

175
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 2>our own destiny. And the reality is we know this

176
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 2>is not good and we want to help. That's really

177
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 2>all that we want to do is we want to

178
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.639
<v Speaker 2>help our parents, and so that's our goal of the

179
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 2>meeting is so we can hopefully work together and work

180
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 2>through this challenge, because it's not going anywhere.

181
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.879
<v Speaker 1>If you had any questions or even any subtle pushback

182
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>since the announcement.

183
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.439
<v Speaker 2>They're going talking about some of the feedback that we've

184
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>had so far.

185
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.759
<v Speaker 3>We've had a little bit well, I think all the parents, everybody,

186
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.000
<v Speaker 3>it's been really positive. I haven't heard any anything negative.

187
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 3>We've already done this survey. You send out the survey

188
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 3>and again that's available on our Facebook page and survey

189
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 3>parents can take about how their kids are using screens

190
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.440
<v Speaker 3>at home. That's of course helpful for our panelists, but

191
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 3>they can also submit questions, what are their concerns, And

192
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 3>everybody's pretty similar. I mean they have conversations a lot

193
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.039
<v Speaker 3>with their kids about how much they're using screens, what

194
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 3>they're doing on screens. It's kind of a constant conversation.

195
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 3>We just want to give them some resources to better

196
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 3>and more effectively have those conversations. Yeah, just a lot

197
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.480
<v Speaker 3>of questions and about how best to enforce those limits

198
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 3>and what other parents are doing. Which again I know

199
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 3>as a parent reading this book, that's really helped me

200
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.159
<v Speaker 3>the most is just even just this weekend, having conversations

201
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 3>with my kids, I'm kind of in powered. No, I

202
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.039
<v Speaker 3>am doing the right thing. You know, you're not entitled

203
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.080
<v Speaker 3>to your phone all the time, So keeping that conversation going,

204
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 3>I think is going to be really helpful.

205
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 1>What you're gonna find out is that many of these kids,

206
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>these age they'll say, oh, I can't live without this,

207
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I can't live without that, And then quietly they'll say,

208
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 1>thank God, I can get away from it because they

209
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>felt like they've been kind of held prisoner by it

210
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>and they don't know how to break for you, you.

211
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Know, that's right. And two we see it. I see

212
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>it from adults as well. I mean we have you know,

213
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 2>we all see adults that are addicted to their phone

214
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 2>and addicted to social media. And you think about it

215
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 2>from you know, from a kids perspective, if you know

216
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>mom or dad or whoever you know, Wait just a minute, howey,

217
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:55.879
<v Speaker 2>I need to check what's on Facebook, or I need

218
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 2>to make this comment, or I need to do that.

219
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>As opposed to you know, being engaged with your kids.

220
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's just that's the I mean, you go

221
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 2>out in the mountain in the world and you see

222
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.120
<v Speaker 2>that happening all the time. So I think just a

223
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 2>reminder for all of us, just because I think we

224
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 2>need to help, we all need to be more present

225
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.879
<v Speaker 2>and so uh because some of the things that come

226
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 2>with and people are addicted to their phone. It talks

227
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 2>about it in the book, you know, is that attention fragmentation.

228
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 2>People are so scattered. I think they're used to getting

229
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 2>just videos and things that continue to come on in

230
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 2>the spreen instead of just kind of pausing let their

231
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 2>mind rest, you know. Read think people need to have

232
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>more of those experiences. And also sleep deprivation. You know,

233
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 2>people are so addicted to it's it's a huge thing,

234
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:40.720
<v Speaker 2>and especially for our teenagers. You know, they're not getting

235
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.080
<v Speaker 2>to sleep anyway as it is, and so this is

236
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 2>something else that can that can negatively impact them. And

237
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 2>so anyway, so we just want to keep the conversation

238
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.159
<v Speaker 2>going and we just want to help. And so I

239
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>think it's good for our parents to be with other

240
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.879
<v Speaker 2>parents and so that they can have some conversations because

241
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, many times our kids, you know, all that

242
00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:59.639
<v Speaker 2>you hear from them as well, everybody else has this

243
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.679
<v Speaker 2>or everyone else is doing this, and so your parents

244
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>feel that naturally, you feel that pressure. You want to

245
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:05.720
<v Speaker 2>make sure you're providing the best for your kid, and

246
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.399
<v Speaker 2>you want to think you're being mean to your kid

247
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.200
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. And the reality is, you know, it's okay

248
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to say it's okay for us we can band together

249
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 2>and say no, we're not going to do that.

250
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's that's really good, It really is. Oh right,

251
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.200
<v Speaker 1>So watching that is Tuesday the twenty eighth, seven o'clock.

252
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Find the Arts Center and it's right there at the

253
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.080
<v Speaker 1>high school. Doesn't cost you anything but your time, and

254
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.200
<v Speaker 1>you got plenty of that after seven o'clock, that's.

255
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Right, and well, and we got plenty of room. You know,

256
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 2>we see twelve hundred people there, so just come on out.

257
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:33.879
<v Speaker 2>We encourage them to count.

258
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 3>We're hoping to have some handouts for parents to take

259
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 3>with them on just some resources for different like monitoring apps,

260
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.159
<v Speaker 3>and again we're not making any recommendations on what to use.

261
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.320
<v Speaker 3>We just want to share with parents what we know

262
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:44.919
<v Speaker 3>is out there and available, and they can do their

263
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 3>own research and determine what's best for their family.

264
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 1>I think this is probably the best community project, let

265
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 1>alone a school project, that I've seen in many years.

266
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I think so too. Okay, It's that's the world we

267
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 2>live in. We just want to help things. We just

268
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 2>want to help things get better. I want to thank

269
00:11:58.679 --> 00:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>you both for being in here and.

270
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Share with us today.

271
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, thanks for having us folks.

272
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.279
<v Speaker 1>You have been watching and listening to our community
