Kids, Social Media, and Screens: Strategies for Success with Devorah Heitner

Devorah Heitner, PhD, an expert on young people’s relationship with digital media and technology and author of Screenwise, will share practical advice and tips to help your kids succeed in this new digital era. She explains the importance of “mentoring over monitoring” when it comes to kids’ tech use and gives advice on how to encourage a healthy relationship with media and technology – and set kids up for success, not stress.

Join us to learn:
  • How parents can support their children’s uses of technology to connect, create, and learn
  • A framework for deciding what digital platforms and apps are appropriate (or not) for elementary aged kids, tweens, and teens
  • Tips for teaching kids how to self-regulate their screentime
  • How to empower kids to use technology and digital media for social good
  • How to help kids through a virtual school day (brain breaks, physical activity, snacks and high fives!)
Registration includes access to the live webinar, video/audio recordings, and links to free downloadable resources from Devorah Heitner's Raising Digital Natives website.
