Tech companies have armies of engineers, billions Tech companies have armies of engineers, billions in research, and years of behavioral data — all aimed at keeping your kid's attention.

You have yourself.

@drdanasuskind calls it what it is: it's not a fair fight. But that doesn't mean parents are powerless. Her approach is simple: give yourself small, concrete choices to make before the meltdown happens. Before 6pm arrives. Before three months go by, you realize a screen has been running the show.

This summer, the @americanwritersmuseum in Chicago marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with Declarations: 250 Years of Writing Toward Independence, an exhibit that treats our founding document not as a relic, but as an ideal still being written toward. We're proud to support the museum and the Saul Zaentz Charitable Foundation™ Mind of a Writer Gallery, where the exhibit lives.

AI is flooding every part of a child's world and i AI is flooding every part of a child's world and it's arriving fastest in the years that shape the brain most.

Pediatric surgeon @drdanasuskind has spent her career studying what builds a child's mind. Her answer to the AI moment isn't panic. It's a question you can actually ask: does this technology enhance us, or replace us?

At Fort Lewis College, it means creating opportunities for first-generation students, honoring the identities and experiences they bring, and ensuring they have the support they need to thrive.

We are proud to support this vision through the Saul Zaentz Thriving Scholars & Well-Being Program, a new initiative that will help students graduate with little or no debt while laying the groundwork for a centralized Student Well-Being Hub.

In our June newsletter, we share why @fortlewiscollege is a model for what higher education can be, and why we believe its story deserves a wider audience.
