TVDSB Family Well-Being Community Workshop Series
April 18, 2024
Family Well-Being Community Workshop Series presents webinar on Parenting in a Digital Age
Parents and Caregivers are invited to attend a virtual workshop on Thursday, April 25, 2024, to learn about parenting in a digital age.
Thames Valley District School Board and the London District Catholic School Board are proud to partner with DIY: Digital Safety, Western University, Concordia University, Dalhousie University, and St. Mary’s University to present the webinar “Parenting in a Digital Age.”
This webinar is offered as part of our Family Well-Being Community Workshop Series.
Digital technologies bring many benefits for kids - but they also introduce new and ever evolving risks and harms. Even if parents are tech savvy, many still feel overwhelmed and unsure how to talk about, monitor, or set boundaries around digital technologies. This webinar will cover topics like young people’s rights and responsibilities in a digital age, and what we do and don’t know about young people’s experiences of harm. It will also discuss relevant tools to help youth, including tech solutions, community resources, and the law, and how to have supportive, non-judgmental conversations.
Date and Time: Thursday April 25th, 2024 from 6:30-7:30pm (virtual)
Featuring: DIY: Digital Safety; Western University; Concordia University; Dalhousie University; St. Mary’s University
Intended Audience: Parents and Caregivers
