HUGO face aux écrans : a family tale to learn how to manage screens
French educator Anne-Marie Gaignard has created a story to educate children aged 7 to 11 about their use of screens. Hugo face aux écrans is a tale full of easy-to-implement advice that will speak to children and parents alike.
The book proposes a playful and adapted methodology. Page after page, the child becomes aware of the dangers of overexposure to screens and can modify his or her behavior through small concrete exercises. Advice for parents is also provided for each of the topics covered.
Already available in Europe, it is possible to pre-order in Quebec.
