Join in a live(ly) discussion around talking to your children about social media and other technology.
Hosted by Galit Breen. Ms. Breen is a best-selling author, parent educator, TEDx speaker, Huffington Post contributor, and mom.
Ms. Breen will lead the discussion as we learn that approximately four out of ten kids (42 percent) have experienced cyberbullying. How this bullying differs from when we were kids and how it is the same.
When Galit’s kids hinted that they’d like to post, tweet, and share photos on Instagram, She took a look at social media as a mom and teacher and quickly realized that there’s a ridiculous amount of kindness terrain to teach and explain to kids –and some adults– before letting them loose online.
Come be a part of the discussion and learn some skills to help your kids maneuver the murky social media waters.
Cost: $5.00 payable at the door, includes a copy of Galit's best selling book, Kindness Wins.
Childcare provided for ages 0 to 5 and activity time for elementary age children.
