PARENTING IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Speaker: OFER ZUR, Ph.D.
Thursday, September 22, 2011, 6:30-8:30 pm at The Presentation School. Open to all - no admission fee
Dr Zur is a consultant, licensed psychologist, writer, teacher, and lecturer from Sonoma. His recent focus has been on the psychology of the web and how modern digital technologies are affecting our families, relationships, schools, workplace and society at large.
This presentation is geared to parents, teachers and concerned members of our community. It will discuss the generational gap between what has been dubbed as "Digital Natives" (the young ones) and "Digital Immigrants" (older adults and parents). It will help parents learn about the digital world of their children, their attraction to Facebook, Twitter and texting, and will propose ideas in regard to the "do's" and "don'ts" of effective parenting of the digitally savvy child. The guidelines to parents are aimed to reduce conflict and tension and increase harmony and collaboration in the home around digital issues.
