The University of Michigan is offering a virtual learning opportunity for parents/guardians of middle school students to learn more about navigating the digital world with their children. Details of the symposium from the University of Michigan are below.
Calling 6th, 7th and 8th Graders and Their Parents/Caregivers!
Middle school can be a time when kids are getting their first phones, texting, signing up for social media, and exploring the web on their own. Sometimes, online life is fun and rewarding, connecting us to our interests and the people we care about. At other times, it can feel overwhelming, addictive, or manipulative.
The past two years have reminded us of how much we rely on our devices. We want kids to thrive when they are online, and we want parents and caregivers to have confidence and tools for supporting that journey.
- Saturday, January 21st, from 9 am - 12 pm
- Two-person teams (middle schooler plus parent/caregiver)
- Zoom symposium: morning of learning, conversation, and activities about healthy online behaviors, tween/teen-only activities with U-M students, Q&A with the featured speaker, breaks to get up and move around and at-home conversation prompts or challenge activities to complete together.
- The Keynote speaker will be an expert on digital wellness and health from CommonSense Media.
