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. Not only does it feel impossible to keep up and stay ahead of what our kids are being exposed to, communicating about screen use and misuse often results in blowouts or shutdowns. What can we do?
In this interactive power workshop, parents will learn how to normalize conversations of screen use, the power of mentoring instead of monitoring their teens, and what it looks like to collaborate on limits that keep kids safe. Participants will be encouraged to share what is most challenging for them, as well as where to go for more resources.
