Workshop: Technology & Kids: Your Values, Your Choice

Every parent wants to do right by their children. But today, many parents are overwhelmed and confused about what this looks like when it comes to screen technologies. Uncertain and pressured, many families are not clear about the what, when, where and how much to allow into their child’s life. It can feel like every day is a guilty battle that requires reinventing how to approach this daunting issue.

Stepping beyond expert opinions and “ten-easy-step solutions,” this gathering offers you common sense solutions explored through the lens of your own capacity to be present as well as through the personal lens of your own values. Together we will work on navigating the technologies in ways that best serve the real needs of your family and what it is that you cherish most.
