Course Description

“Why do my kids constantly check their phones?” “If mom’s on her phone, I can be on mine.” “Our son made a totally asinine decision…” Parenting in a digital world can feel like parenting on a battlefield. The threats seem to be coming from all directions, and we don’t know the best ways to protect our families. This Parenting in a Digital World course gives parents a clear view of the digital landscape and helps them start conversations with their kids about healthy media usage. The material includes videos, conversation starters, and downloadable resources to help you guide your family with confidence.

We estimate that this will take you 6 hours to complete (but not all in one sitting!).
