Arcadia is the founder of Infinite Screentime working to dispel the negative connotations surrounding screen time. The amount of time we spend and where appropriate our children spend interacting with screens. We will go into detail on this topic in the podcast.
Aa a mom of three children Arcadia's approach is very hands on and practical. Her family has lived in Asia since 2006. Arcadia has worked for Electronics Arts in Los Angeles and has an inside view of the online games industry where she worked on several blockbuster titles.
In the podcast we do a deep dive into the management of screen time that is relevant and actionable.
This episode is released in collaboration with Whizpa.com, one of Hong Kong's leading education platforms helping connect families with educators and activity providers and to coincide with the latest issue of their ebook #21.
