We've all heard the saying... "Little kids, little problems. Big kids, big problems." Teens & the high school years can definitely present us with some bigger problems - and wider societal issues - than we faced as elementary school parents. Here are some good information sessions coming up to help us with handling some of these "bigger" problems.
Parenting in a Digital World What do we need to know as parents to protect our children in a connected society? Topics in this session include: current research in brain development, current social media apps and trends, digital footprints, and finding a balance between rules & independence. When: Wednesday, November 13, 6:30 to 8 pm Where: Windermere Secondary, 3155 East 27th Ave Read more about this session and register online here. SACY Adult Toolkit Add to your knowledge about teens, alcohol, cannabis and other substances(including vaping). Gain facts, bust myths, and get comfortable having conversations with youth at this friendly, non-judgmental evening for adults. When: Thursday, December 12, 6:30 to 8:30 pm Where: Sir Charles Tupper, STEP Portable (corner of E23rd and Prince Edward) Seating is limited for this event, so please register online here.
