Cyber Savvy Parenting Seminars
Instagram and Snapchat and Vine, OH MY! If the dizzying pace of new apps and mobile devices is overwhelming to you, we can help. Contact us to inquire about our 3 hour Cyber Savvy Parenting seminars for your parent's group, youth group, or school. We can help you and your teens understand the risks that are out there, ways to agree on protections, and hands-on demonstrations of what to do. In the first hour of the seminar parents and teens come together for an interactive dialogue about Risk, Trust, and Apps. The second two hours of the seminar are for parents only. We bring them up to speed on the specific things they can do to protect their children. This seminar is not about how to say "No" to your children. It is about to safely say "Yes".
