Teens are drawn to their screens like moths to a flame. They demand evermore screen-time telling us it “makes them happy” but their actions and behaviours are telling us the opposite.More teens now than ever before now struggle with anxiety, depression, suicidality and self-harm and recent research shows there is a direct link between the time teens spend on their screens and plunging adolescent mental health.
If you want to learn how help your teen side-step the world of sexting, cyberbullying and gaming addiction come along to hear consultant, Adrienne Wood, speak on the importance of helping rangatahi manage their digital world.
Come with your questions, your thoughts and your (well founded) fears. Come prepared to have a bit of fun too, and learn about screens together with other parents of teens. Make a date night out of it! Bring your partner, your friends and your phones to get your heads around digital safety together.
