1/20/22 UPDATE: Due to today’s delayed Mahwah school opening we will need to reschedule tonight’s Digitally Distracted Parent Presentation. The parent presentation was designed to follow the in-person Joyce Kilmer student presentation – all being on the same day. We will be rescheduling both the student presentation and parent presentation. As soon as we have the new date, we will let you know.
Thank you for your understanding and apologize for the inconvenience.
Kids spend more than eight hours per day, seven days a week on electronic devices. The result is a malleable brain that is rewired to assimilate to a cyber-world – not the real world. The byproduct is chronic anxiety, attention deficit, depression, poor social skills, academic failure, and family relationship problems. This lecture is an eye-opener and will include tips to help live in the real world and less in the cyber world.
This program will provide training and education in:
Technology use and mental health
How much screen time is too much?
Strategies to help your child reduce anxiety
How much sleep is acceptable for your child?
Creating leaders, not followers
Your role as a parent
REGISTER NOW, Webinar link will be shared with registrants
