Screenwise with Author Devorah Heitner (1/14/20)
Live Webinar / Tues, January 14 / 8 - 9:30 PM ET
Parents today worry that kids are addicted, detached or distracted because of digital devices. Often, adults are less conscious about what they are modeling with their own relationship with technology. Tech-savvy Digital Natives need mentorship to thrive, develop social skills and succeed in a future where they will likely find a job, meet their spouse and build their reputations in interactive, digital communities. Adults can share our own lifetime of social wisdom to mentor children to become the best people that they can be.
For all parents.
We are grateful for the support of our sponsors:
