It may feel as though your preteen or teenager is growing up in a different universe than you did. Between smartphones, social media, and cyberbullying, and increasing childhood anxiety, the world is changing minute-by-minute. Technology is transforming how young people see themselves (body image), learn, develop social skills, and communicate with the people around them. Many parents feel as though they are venturing into alien territory, with no idea how to navigate these unprecedented situations. The good news is that regardless of your technological skill, you are still the best person to guide your child through all the chaos of adolescence.
With clear, practical advice, Dr. Cohen-Sandler, author of Anything But My Phone, Mom! provides insights and strategies for caregivers to better understand what teens are going through now. Participants will learn how to create strong parent-child bonds for a close and loving relationship with their children while keeping them safe, on the road to becoming healthy, capable, and confident in the digital era.
Dr. Roni Cohen-Sandler, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist, author, and speaker with decades of experience assessing and treating adolescents and adults, expert on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Today, CBS, Good Morning America, and PBS, among many others, and has been featured in print in many major outlets including The New York Times, Newsweek, Marie Claire, and Teen Vogue.
