The Conversation - a message for parents from St George’s
St George’s Church is pleased to be hosting a parent support workshop by ‘The Conversation Stamford’, which many of you know is run by two of our church members Gemma Holbird and Sarah Jane Sauntson.
The workshop ‘Parenting in a Digital World’ aims to support parents as they grapple with this tricky area of parenting and will focus on answering practical questions such as:
How are smartphones influencing our children and teens and what can we do about it?
Why are they so addictive?
When should my child be given a phone?
What controls should we put in place and how do I implement them?
What apps should they be allowed on?
How can we find the right balance for our family?
The workshop is aimed at parents and carers of children aged 0-16 regardless of whether your children have a phone yet or not. You can sign up to this Free workshop here: https://www.theconversationstamford.co.uk/signup.aspx
This parent support workshop is part of the ‘Stamford Cyberwise Campaign’ encouraging schools, parents and children to evaluate young people’s digital habits and consider the impact mobile phones are having on mental health and well-being. More information about the campaign in general can be found at the following link. https://www.theconversationstamford.co.uk/cyberwise-signup.aspx
We are excited to have this opportunity to benefit from Gemma and SJ’s research and experience in this area. We do hope you can come along…..
