Navigating Digital Separation Anxiety in Young Children

Screens and technology have become part of childhood, and with them comes a new wave of emotional responses, behaviours, and attachment patterns. This workshop explores how digital connection affects children’s regulation, separation, attention, and social interaction and how educators can respond with understanding instead of frustration. Together, we unpack developmental needs, co-regulation strategies, and supportive approaches for families navigating the tech landscape.
