Navigating Digital Milestones
Navigating Milestones in the Digital Age: Join Us for Growing Up in Public
Raising kids in a hyper-connected world can often feel like navigating unchartered territory. From their first smartphone to group chats, gaming channels, and social media feeds, our children are growing up with an audience—and a permanent digital footprint.
As parents and caregivers, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant evolution of technology. How do we help our kids handle digital milestones responsibility without constantly hovering or resorting to fear-based restrictions? How do we preserve our connection with them while helping them build healthy online boundaries?
Understanding technology—and how it intersects with adolescent development—
is key to fostering trust and resilience in our families. That is why we are thrilled to host Dr. Devorah Heitner, author of “Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World” and “Screenwise”, for an empowering presentation designed to give caregivers actionable, compassionate strategies for the modern digital landscape.
