How to use Love, Boundaries and Your Family Values to Help Your Tween or Teen Manage Media in an Increasingly Virtual World

Description

We know that teen depression, anxiety and mental illness has increased alarmingly over the last two decades. Many studies link this trend to both isolation and helplessness exacerbated by time on screens, and yet the current pandemic is creating an ever-increasing need for more.  In this interactive workshop, Susan will share a parenting approach to help you become the “safe person” your teen or tween needs right now, connected with your kids but also able to set clear expectations and loving boundaries. You will learn what it means to keep the drawbridge of communication open so you can problem-solve together and manage the “new-normal” this fall with calm and confidence.

Key Points

• Dr. Clifford Sussman’s research on High Dopamine and Low Dopamine Activities – the neurological science behind screen time
