Screenwise author and previous SPEAK lecturer, Devorah Heitner, PhD is offering webinar focused on the social-emotional components of screentime in balance with unplugged time during this unusual period in family life. What should the “screen time” rules be for both recreational and learning tech use during this unusual time. She will also address how to keep up with news without getting overwhelmed (and being cautious with what news kids are consuming.) Finally, Heitner will address how parents can mentor kids on social media, texting and gaming during this time. Heitner is the author of Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in their Digital World, a guide for parents to mentoring digital kids. Her insights have appeared in the Washington Post, Real Simple, New York Times, Psychology Today, and more. She has a Ph.D. in Media/Technology and Society from Northwestern University and has taught at DePaul University and Northwestern University. She is delighted to be raising her own digital native, too.
