Screening of the film – Chasing Childhood
October 24, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Avon Land Trust is excited to partner with Thompson Brook School to bring a free screening of the award-winning film Chasing Childhood to the community on Tuesday, October 24th at 7:00 PM. This feature-length documentary explores how free play and independence have all but vanished from kids’ lives, supplanted by digital social lives and relentless perfectionism leading to record rates of anxiety and depression. Free play, ideally outdoors and unsupervised by adults, is critical for children to develop essential life skills like grit, independence, and resourcefulness. Help change the tide by attending this important event. Reserve your free seat(s) HERE.
