Are We Rushing Childhood?
A Free Parent Film Screening & Discussion on Education, Pressure, and Learning
Featuring the documentary Chasing Childhood
Concerned about school stress, screen time, or your child’s anxiety?
Many parents today are asking the same questions:
Why does school feel so stressful for kids?
Is traditional education really preparing children for life?
Are there better learning environments for curious, independent kids?
If you’ve been searching for alternative education options, schools that focus on the whole child, or ways to support your child’s emotional well-being, this event is for you.
Free Community Screening for Parents
Join other local families for a free screening of Chasing Childhood, a documentary that explores how modern education, overscheduling, academic pressure, and screen use are affecting children’s mental health, confidence, and love of learning.
This event is designed for parents who are:
Questioning the traditional school system
Exploring learner-driven education, project-based learning, or non-traditional schools
Seeking a healthier balance between academics, childhood, and real-world skills
There is no sales presentation—just an honest, thoughtful conversation.
Parent Discussion: Rethinking Education & Childhood
After the film, parents are invited to stay for a guided discussion focused on:
How school pressure impacts motivation and mental health
What skills children actually need for adulthood
Why independence, resilience, and curiosity matter more than test scores
What alternative learning models can look like in practice
This discussion is optional, welcoming, and respectful of all perspectives.
Who Should Attend
This event is ideal for parents who are searching for:
Alternatives to traditional public or private schools
Learning environments that support emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and self-direction
Schools for children who are bright, curious, anxious, bored, or under-challenged
A supportive parent community focused on intentional education choices
You do not need to be enrolled—or planning to enroll—in any school to attend.
