About the Event

Technology is a normal part of childhood today. Kids connect, learn, play, and communicate online every day, often in ways adults may not fully see or understand. While the digital world offers many benefits, it can also create situations where children face pressure, confusion, emotional challenges, or interactions they are not prepared to handle on their own.
The goal of this workshop is to help adults better understand the environments children are navigating and provide guidance on how to support them. When parents and caregivers feel informed and confident, they are better able to recognize concerns early, set healthy boundaries, and create open communication so children feel safe asking for help when they need it.
