Community Connection Event – Untangling Teens and Tech

Untangling Teens & Tech
Teens today have most if not all of their life wrapped up in a phone or device. Our job as parents is to help untangle them! In this presentation, you’ll learn ideas to support teens as they discover what a healthy relationship with tech looks like. Through connection and open conversations, you can give your teen a sense of self stronger than any screen.

Parents will discover how to:

• Initiate “teen tech talks”with topics around mental health and personal values
• Prepare teens for the dangers they might face online
• Instill the skills of concentration, focus, and screen time management

About the presenter:
Andrea Davis is a former secondary ed teacher turned screen-time-navigator. She is the founder of Better Screen Time where she shares family-tested ideas from the (tech) trenches as a mom of five. She is on a mission to help parents worry less about tech, and connect more with their kids. Learn more at BetterScreenTime.com
