🔥 YCYW EDUCATIONAL LECTURE SERIES - 25/26 LECTURE 13
Topic: The Battle for the Brain in the Digital Era: Focusing on Children's Emotional Management and the Cultivation of Self-Regulation
When children’s emotions become increasingly difficult to manage and their attention spans grow ever shorter, do we really understand what is happening behind the screen? Short videos, social media, games… these seemingly harmless digital products are quietly reshaping children’s brains.
The dopamine trap, cortisol-induced anxiety, and a lack of endorphins—screens are not only consuming time, but also affecting children’s emotional regulation and self-control.
On 7 May, we cordially invite you to join an in-depth discussion on ‘The Battle to Protect the Brain’, dedicated to every parent striving to support their child’s development in the age of screens.
Speaker Introductions:
Dr Jin Yiwen
Paediatrician, United Family Healthcare
Former Paediatrician, Peking University First Hospital
Ms Zhao Zhanshu
Deputy Editor-in-Chief, China Teacher Training Network Senior Education Media Expert
Ms Jessica Sun
Chinese Co-Principal of YCIS Beijing
Lecture Time: Thursday, 7 May 2026, 19:00
📍Lecture Venue:
YCIS Beijing
Honglingjin Park, 5 Houbalizhuang, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China
Sneak Peek at Lecture Highlights:
- Clinical Insights: Deep dive into how dopamine and cortisol impact a child’s self-regulation.
- Practical Solutions: Based on Harvard-led research, learn systemised methods to manage screen addiction.
- Educational Partnership: Strategies for parents to move from "enforcer" to "companion" in a digital world.
In this battle, there are no perfect parents—only companions who are constantly learning and adapting.
We will continue to work side by side with parents to create a digital environment for our children that offers both clear boundaries and warmth.
