Screen Time, Technology and Today’s Parent – Workshop for Community Leaders, Teachers, and Service Providers
Learn how to better serve families that struggle with screen time and social media boundaries and get a better understanding of the layers of technology that can help them.
Are you a therapist, teacher, youth leader, or childcare provider working with parents and youth that are struggling with devices, internet content, and time limits?
Are they struggling with
device dependency or navigating technology boundaries with their children and the family is experiencing trauma-based responses because of what they have been exposed to while online?
Are you looking for a better understanding of why parents are struggling to keep the boundaries and have a better understanding of what’s really going on behind the screens?
If you answered "YES" to any of those questions, then STAY WITH ME because not only was I a parent similar to the ones you work with, I am a tech mom who knows how to teach you what you need to know so that you can help families become more structured with technology.
Family Communication
& Social Technology Strategies
Families that work together to set up social and emotional support systems, enroll in social technology training, and implement the right technology strategies will improve their online experience and will encourage open family communication.
Who is this 1/2 day workshop for?
This workshop is for leaders, teachers, service providers, and decision makers that want to help shift the trajectory of where smart technology is leading our youth and reduce the division it is creating in families.
This interactive group zoom or in-person workshop is designed to help you understand the silent epidemic behind the screens that is impacting families. There is a growing number of youths that are being exposed to adult content at an alarming rate and parents are uninformed, ill-equipped to manage it, overwhelmed by it, or believe they have the right safeguards in place. I have been serving families by helping them navigate screen time boundaries for over a year. My findings and results of my work will help you understand screen time issues and why families are struggling in silence.
You will leave this workshop inform on the layers of complexity parents are navigating with technology when it comes to setting age-appropriate boundaries and how you can help them.

What Does Dr. Drew Think?
When I reached out to Dr. Drew and told him that I work with parents that struggle to balance technology use in their families and that my program offers support to families by provides accountability to help them set boundaries, I asked him this question:
DR. Drew, can you share how important it is to find the right support programs for families that struggle with device boundaries so that parents can take the reins back from device overuse?

0:13 Profound impact of screens
It's really impossible not to be mobilized to do something. The problem is it's hard. You have to set boundaries and limits with your kids, and the people that really understand this field set very stringent limits with their children, I get it, that's hard and Gena knows it's hard.
-
0:45 Look at the data
When you look at the data of the profound uptick in sexting and sex trafficking and exposure to pornography, this is all the result of kids having access to screens.
-
1:12 Addictive. It's designed to be that way.
I think one day we will look at these screens, the way we look at tobacco, it's something that you have to really regulate, it's very sticky, it's very addictive. It's designed to be that way.
-
1:31 Significant limits
It's just that there have to be significant limits. You have to take the reins back from your children when there is overuse and again overuse happens very quickly and each family needs to define that though there are some guidelines for that and Gena can help you with that as well.
-
2:26 It's a struggle. Parenting is hard.
We're fighting a very powerful force here very addictive force, but the job can get done it's not, it's not a hopeless cause by any means. And again, it's not being perfect, it's just being aware, it's setting limits, doing the best we can, and really kind of tuning up our expectations of what our children's relationship with electronic media screens ought to be.

What Parents are saying about
Conversational Parenting
Keeping our kids safe online these days is no joke....there are so many things to consider, research, block, unblock, talk about, and on and on. This program curates so much valuable information - you will walk away from it feeling empowered and ready to work as a family on ensuring everyone stays safe and loved.
Parent ~ Tiffany Vaughan
Our family found this program very helpful. The content was timely and relevant to what we were going through with her kids. It was helpful to have tasks for us to work on as parents and for our kids to work on so that we would have a better awareness of how technology is affecting our kids.
Parent ~ Teresa G.

Parents are overwhelmed and technology is developing at a faster rate than ever before. Children approach technology with curiosity and are getting caught in the net.
