Join Us for "Meetings with Michael" on Growing Up Digital
Our children have never known a world without the internet, mobile phones and social media. As Digital Natives, young people need “training wheels” in the social and educational uses of technology. For many parents, this is scary, unchartered territory.
Please join us for the next installment of "Meetings with Michael" as we explore "Tips and Tools for Parenting Digital Natives."
Date: Tuesday, April 19
Times: - 7:20 a.m. at the Lower School, Dundas Hatcher Hall (free "Open Gym" child care will be provided)
- 1:30 p.m at the Middle School, Singleton Campus Great Hall
