| How much screen time should my kids have each day? Should I monitor all communications my child has and if so, how? The average person spends 7 hours a day using screens and typically our children are spending 2-3 hours of this time on social media. Today’s trends of anxiety, depression, FOMO, loneliness, social isolation sexting, sextortion, cyber bullying, misinformation, and phubbing are all related to media. we all need help navigating it all safely. We are hosting Brett Ullman – a well-known youth culture, media and mental health expert who has been speaking on these subjects for 25 years who will engage us parents on this topic. This talk will provide us with steps we can take in order to better use media for good and ways to decrease its negative effects. Social media, video games, music and TV/streaming will be addressed and strategies for boosting our well-being will be provided. The best part is, this talk is for both youth and parents. We will be having a Sr. Youth night where parents are invited to join. We will be joining together for worship and learning together from Brett as he shares his expertise. It promises to be a very beneficial evening and we hope to see you there! |
