There are so many opportunities that I can get here that I am not able to get anywhere else.
A quick weekly bite on the apps, trends, and tools your teen is using — plus tips, resources, and events to help you stay in the know.
This week: Free expert webinars worth your lunch break
Keeping up with teen tech can feel like a full-time job. Children and Screens makes it easier. It’s an independent nonprofit that hosts free webinars where researchers, pediatricians, and psychologists explain what the science says and what parents can actually do. Every session is archived, so you can watch whenever it suits you.
Two good places to start:
Raising Independent Thinkers in the Age of AI
What happens to critical thinking, creativity, and intellectual curiosity when easy answers are always a few taps away?
The Smart Parent’s Guide to Parental Controls
How to use parental controls without damaging trust or getting in the way of your teen building independence.
Try this: Watch one together or pick a single idea from it. Ask your teen what they think. Their take is often the best part of the conversation.
