School-hosted parent seminar:
Untangling Tweens + Teens From Technology
Let Jocelyn manage the Zoom registrations, supply the marketing assets and upskill your parent community with key strategies for digital wellbeing.
Support your parent community proactively and practically manage devices in the home.
Managing digital devices and avoiding problematic use of screens is a key feature of modern parenting. Often screen time ends in scream-time when it comes to wrangling young people off technology. But even as adults we are not immune to the allure of our online activities and communities.
This session introduces parents and carers to some of the nuances of understanding the digital playgrounds that young people are growing up immersed in. With a fear-free, evidence-based approach we explore some of the ways tech is designed to capture our attention and plays into hard-wired needs of connection and belonging.
Let Jocelyn manage the admin of running the online session! Minimise staff admin and after school time – all the school needs to do is:
- select a date and time
- promote the zoom registration link to the community with the advertising material Jocelyn provides
- introduce me on the night
- pay my invoice!
