SPEAKER
Can I register more than one child for SCREENed?
Option B allows you to register for 1 parent and 2 children. If you are also registering with your spouse, please select Option A and register as 2 parent-child pairs.
My child is younger/older than the recommended age range of 11 to 14 years old. Can he/she still attend?
The programme for SCREENed is designed for parents with children between the recommended age range. For children under 11, you may need to provide more guidance at certain parts of the workshop for him/her to fully benefit from the programme. We would not advise for parents to bring children older than 15 years old as the programme is designed for children of a younger age group. However, we will leave the decision to the parent.
Can I bring my friend’s child along with my child and I for the workshop?
The planned activities are intended for interaction within the context of a family. If you have someone else’s child with you, he/she may feel left out when you’re interacting with your child. We would recommend for your friend to bring his/her child to attend as a family so that they can practise the lessons at home.
What is the programme like?
We will be screening the award-winning docu-movie Screenagers with activities and conversations weaved into the programme. There will also be Q&A session and an opportunity to make a family screen time agreement with your child. Do come with a willingness to share, listen and communicate with your child through the activities and conversations.
