RAISING KIDS IN A SCREEN-SATURATED, ULTRA-COMPETITIVE WORLD
Modern adolescence presents new challenges for parents, from competing with the Internet for attention to maintaining authority in the face of teenage judgment.
Parents often question their decisions on issues like curfews, screen time, and respect. This workshop will address concerns about preteen and teen mental health in a social media-driven culture and offer strategies to help you regain confidence in your judgment.
It will also provide tips for managing the pressure of academic and athletic achievement while protecting kids' well-being and enjoyment.
