  • When few were talking about the impact of screens on children’s well-being, Turning Life On was already leading the way! We are inspired by their leadership and proud to share their vision.

    Dr. Sharon Maxwell, Polestar Parenting

  • It's less about turning screens off. TLO is about turning on relationships, curiosity, senses, support, and activism. It's about letting tech take a back seat to life and raising children in the real world.

    Jean Rogers, M.S.Ed.
    Director, Screen Time Action Network at Fairplay

  • Thank you so much for sharing your expertise, practical strategies, and thoughtful guidance at last night’s Tech Talk. Your insights made the event a real success, and we’re incredibly grateful for your time and support.

    Acton Boxborough Parent

  • Adrienne’s presentation was very well received by an audience of educators, psychologists, social workers and guidance counselors. She is an interactive, informative, and skilled presenter and received countless accolades from our participants

    Margie Daniels, M.Ed., L.I.C.S.W. Executive Director Massachusetts Partnerships for Youth, Inc.

  • Adrienne has had two sessions with our school’s parent community! Her presentations are not only informative with the latest science and research, but include strategies for families to negotiate complex social situations.

    Laurel Zolfonoon, Head of School, Concord Montessori School

  • You were a rock star today. Thank you so much for coming and having such great conversations with our community members. TLO is an awesome initiative and all in attendance felt very reinforced and informed with what you shared.

    Dot Butler, Winchester Coalition for a Safer Community

  • Your talk was empowering and reminded us that we are the ones making decisions for our children’s well being. What will my kids remember about their childhood? They will remember the family game nights and laughter during car rides - not TV shows and video games.

    Lynn, Parent
