Parents - TTC 2017
This year we are offering two parent options. Please be sure to select Option #1 or Option #2 when filling in your registration form.
OPTION #1
Ministry to Kids Who are Growing Up in Cyber Space
Paul Robertson – Youth Culture Specialist/Youth Unlimited
Cyber space is a real place where the boundaries of our reality no longer apply. We live with the illusion that the cyber environment is safer than real life. We give little thought to how it is transforming our kids’ lives. This seminar will take a detailed look at how cyber space is quietly shaping the behaviours of children and teens online. Topics covered will include addictive behaviours, selfies, sexting, toddlers and tablets, narcissism, cyber romance, and the need for endless feedback from people they don’t even know.
OPTION #2
What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do
Selina Frechette – RP, RPC and Executive Director, The COVE Youth Initiative, Barrie, ON
Parenting teens can be extremely challenging! This workshop discusses how to successfully navigate the transition from parenting children to parenting teens and the impact today’s culture is having on the behaviour and development of our youth. Parents will receive practical examples of how to respond to anxiety, depression, and other current issues facing today’s teens while still maintaining a strong relationship with their child.
Be sure to take full advantage of this low cost evening event. Pre-Register for only $10 for one person; $15 for married couples or arrive at the door ($15/Person, $20/couple).
