Community Spotlight

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Your insights made the event a real success, and we’re incredibly grateful for your time and support.
