Getting a Handle on Screens
Working WITH your teens and their screens
Every parent is struggling with how to help their teen have a healthy relationship with screens. Every. Parent. It feels impossible to keep up and stay ahead of what our kids are being exposed to. In this power workshop, parents will learn the power of mentoring instead of monitoring their teens, how to normalize conversations of screen use, and what it looks like to collaborate on limits that keep kids safe. We will talk specifically about porn, sextortion and privacy, as well as where to go for more resources.
