School Holiday Webinar | Stop the Scroll!

This school holidays I will be hosting LIVE webinars showing parents and teens what's possible in the online education space that they don't teach in the schools.

📱 Could This Be a Smarter Way to Spend Screen Time This School Holiday?
For many teens, school holidays bring a well-deserved break—but often, that time is filled with:

- Long hours on gaming consoles
- Binge-watching Netflix
- Endless scrolling on social media
- While downtime is important, a growing number of parents are looking for simple, constructive alternatives that still engage teens—but also build confidence and life skills.

 
💡 Why It’s Worth Thinking About
According to research, the average teen spends more than 7 hours a day on recreational screen time. That’s not including homework or study.

At the same time, studies show that:

- Financial literacy among teens is at an all-time low
- Most schools still don’t teach the basics of how money works
- Mental health concerns are rising, especially when screen time replaces purposeful activity
 
👇 A Positive Alternative for Curious Teens
More and more online platforms are beginning to fill that gap by providing short, interactive lessons on topics like:

How money works and understanding the Cashflow Quadrant
- The basics of trading and investing
- Entrepreneurship, personal development and online income streams
- Developing a strong mindset and discipline around money

It’s built to be accessible (even on a phone), flexible, and age-appropriate for teens who are ready to explore how to earn and manage money responsibly.

 
🧭 For Parents, It’s Not About Pushing—It’s About Providing Options
This isn’t about replacing all screen time or turning kids into business owners overnight.
It’s about offering a balanced alternative that teaches real-world skills and encourages independent thinking.

Ideally I would love for families to go through the material together, creating opportunities for deeper conversations about finances, responsibility, and future goals.

Sometimes the smallest shift—like swapping 30 minutes of screen time—can spark a new way of thinking.
