Disconnect to Reconnect
Cris Rowan, CEO of Zone’in Programs Inc., will present Disconnect to Reconnect, a talk on raising awareness regarding the impact of technology on child development, behaviour and learning. Rowan will be providing initiatives to manage balance between technology use and healthy activities, so you can work toward creating what she terms “sustainable” children.
Georgia Cyr, owner of Blissful Yoga Studio, will kick off the evening with half an hour of deep breathing and simple, seated stretches to counteract the stiff neck, slumped shoulders, and sore hips we often experience as a result of spending too much time on our phones or at our computers.
