This workshop will cover the challenges parents and professionals are facing today that didn’t exist just a decade ago due to the rapidly evolving digital world. Participants will review research studies linking behaviors to social media and technology use, engage in critical thinking activities to determine how to balance these sometimes necessary entities with a healthy and safe world for our children, learn strategies to address the behaviors resulting from extensive exposure and access to social media, and to prevent the short and long term consequences that can result from irresponsible use of technology.
