Parenting in Today’s Digital Age
1:30pm – 2:30pm, Saturday 26th October 2019 @ BDF2019 Festival Hub
A participative, coaching-led talk that invites parents to reflect on the digital world that their children are growing up in and how best to navigate their way through it. The idea is to first get parents thinking about their own relationship with digital media (after all, our children learn from us, so we need to become aware of our own behaviours), and then to better understand what’s going on for their children.
