DIGITAL WELLNESS PARENT LEARNING SERIES REGISTER NOW!

Your kids are already fluent with Social Media apps. Now, they’ve added AI for homework help, games, music and image creation, and Companion Chatbots.
These tools are fun, fast and built into their everyday life, but without clear guidance kids can easily share too much and put their own – and your family’s – privacy, identity and security on the line.
In this presentation, you will learn relevant skills, and how to support your kids:
Model Intention and Wellness, Online
Establish Simple Family Security Steps
Build Confidence & Online Skills
Begin Relevant Conversations & Trust
Understand AI & Social Media Terms
Live Demo of SnapChat and ChatGPT
