Peace At Home Parenting Expert LeAnn Beaulieu LeAnn Beaulieu,MA

Challenges & Solutions

Children benefit a lot when you help them bridge their two most important worlds. When students’ parents are involved in school, kids tend to have higher grades and test scores, better attendance and higher rates of completing their homework. They even have better social skills and are more likely to graduate. We all want those outcomes for our children, but it’s not always easy to establish a productive relationship with your child’s school. This workshop will help you identify strategies to initiate and maintain that important partnership with your child’s school.

Technology and the Alpha Generation: Start the Conversation and End the Power Struggles

April 03, 2024 8:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Amy Alamar Amy Alamar,EdD

Challenges & Solutions

We’ve moved beyond the screen time power struggle. Meet Generation Alpha, the first group of kids who entered the world surrounded by technology. 

Alphas are the children of millennials born from 2010 onwards and are the most tech-savvy generation the world has ever seen. While millennial parents have been learning how to use the latest phones and tablets since their teen years, the oldest Alphas started using these devices before they could talk. 

Alphas will communicate faster than their parents in a global, tech-driven environment. Alphas will grow up to do jobs that don’t yet exist. While digital skills will be important, they will need emotional intelligence and social confidence as well as other skills to succeed in both work and personal relationships. 

At the same time, the U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory Report indicates that nearly all teens use social media and we cannot conclude it is safe with regard to their mental health. And over half of parents say their kids are “addicted” and, even among young children, craving for screen time is rapidly accelerating. 

Workshop participants will gain practical strategies that both parents and children can use to truly embrace this digital frontier without fear and within reason. Parents can’t learn faster or better than Gen Alpha when it comes to technology – but we can learn with them. Join Peace At Home experts and other parents to consider the issues and define strategies that tackle this challenge with calm, clarity and even optimism. Let’s do this together.
