Join PNW Parent Education as we host Dr. Devorah Heitner, media and technology expert and author of “Growing Up in Public” and “Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World”.

From ChatGPT to Claude, Roblox to Instagram, from YouTube and TikTok… our kids are growing up in a hyper-connected world. We are excited to partner with media/technology expert, Dr. Devorah Heitner, to learn about how we can support our kids as they grow up in this world.

Join us to learn:
– How caregivers can mentor children as they grow up on Roblox, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media apps
– How caregivers can help kids use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others thoughtfully, ethically, and responsibly
– How can we help them navigate a world where they can be exposed to problematic content
– How caregivers can help kids be thoughtful about their digital footprint and reputation
– Strategies for teaching tweens and teens to recognize how social media affects their mood and mental health
– How mentoring over monitoring with screens actually work
– How can we help our kids (and ourselves) find the balance between plugged and unplugged activities
– How to work on sleep habits to balance screen time and getting enough rest.
– Supporting kids in staying true to themselves as they grow up “in public” on social media apps
– How social media and chatbots can affect mood and mental health
