Worried About Your Child in This Technological Age?
Many parents may be concerned that their children are growing up in an age that bombards them with information from all sides. Kids today have access to so much more than parents ever imagined in their youth. With emailing, texting, blogging, twittering; some parents might wonder if their child ever really speaks to a human being face-to-face. Another concern for today’s parents is whether or not all this technology is somehow stunting their child’s ability to actually verbalize their thoughts and concerns. Other parents may simply be worried about their child’s safety in cyberspace.
All of these are very real concerns and some local schools are helping parents understand how they can raise children that are safe and smart in this new technologically obsessed world. Francis Howell Middle School is holding a meeting regarding these concerns:
Join us on Tuesday, March 9th from 7:00 – 8:00 in our lecture room for an Introduction to Raising Media Savvy Kids in a Media Saturated World – This course will define Media Literacy and allow participants to consider simple Critical Thinking Strategies to add to existing parenting methods. Participants also gain awareness of the myriad ways technology has impacted childhood. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to consider tactics for setting limits with media and ways the Media can even help with Parenting.
