In today’s world, even preschoolers are handed screens to “keep them entertained.” Yet every swipe replaces a moment of boredom, curiosity, and self-directed play – the roots of creativity and confidence. In this session, Flora McCormick, LCPC, shares how technology impacts brain development and independent play, and offers simple, practical strategies to help children (and parents) rediscover imagination, independence and the gift of being bored.
Audience: Montessori guides, assistants, and parents of children ages 2–6 who want to foster focus, creativity, and calm in a tech-saturated world.
