We invite you to join us for a 5 sessions Adolescents and Technology Seminar. Technology has a huge impact on all our daily lives and as a society, we’ve come a long way with the help of technology. However, as much as we appreciate technology for the convenience it brought to us, several aspects of it have impacted our society negatively in more ways than one.
It can cause a negative effect when it controls bigger parts of our lives. It can endanger adolescents, easily exposing them to inappropriate and/or offensive content, and disrupts daily social, and family conduct.

During the seminar we will discuss the following:
– How to respond when our teens send us many messages during a short period of time? and why do they do it?
– Is it still relevant to limit teens to screen time?
– What to do when the teenager wants to upload inappropriate photos to social media?
– Is it OK to monitor our teenager’s phone from time to time?

Seminar Outcome:
– Knowledge and tools on how to better deal with the challenges of technology.
– Ideas on how to help teenagers break away from the screens.
– How to get closer to our teenagers using screens.

Seminar Agenda:
1. Parental role: boundaries, personal example and expectations alignment.
2. Communication – The bridge to creating a better relationship.
3. Risky behaviors: social networks, cyberbullying, porn, etc.
4. Addiction? Our relationship with technology. Things parents need to know.
5. Parental Control – our emotional availability is the best control.

The seminar is for parents of teens between the ages of 9-18.
