October's Streaming Film: “CHASING CHILDHOOD”

Remember when childhood was less curated than it is now? Maybe you’re old enough remember a time when your parents would send you out in the morning and expect you back by dinner time? Clearly times have changed!

In today's highly charged world of structure, stranger danger, and helicopter parenting, free play in childhood has disappeared, giving way to unprecedented anxiety and depression. This phenomenon impacts kids from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. Children's lives are consumed with wall-to-wall activities and constant monitoring-the overprotected, over-directed, over-pressured childhood is the new normal.

Margaret Munzer Loeb and Eden Wurmfeld’s documentary CHASING CHILDHOOD documents how some are trying to change the potentially negative impacts of structure and over parenting. The film includes an introduction from CNN correspondent Van Jones and concludes with a panel presentation by middle school experts. Check it out!
