“The Triumphs and Pitfalls of Parenting and Technology”
Panel Discussion
Thursday, Feb 5, 2015 6-8 PM
Vermont Commons School
Is your children's use of digital technology a source of stress and conflict in your family?
Do you struggle to identify and maintain boundaries around digital technology use that work for your family?
Could you use some help re-envisioning what you want your family's relationship to digital technology to be?
If any of these questions resonate with you, please come to our panel discussion on these issues. During this evening we plan for break out sessions to share, with our panelists and fellow parents, the triumphs and pitfalls we experience in the face of an increasingly technological world.
