Glenbard Parent Series event: teen panel on living in digital age
The Glenbard Parent Series: (GPS) Navigating Healthy Families will present "Straight from the Source: Teens Talk Social Media Now with Liz Repking and Linda Lewaniak" at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 1, at Glenbard South High School, 23W200 Butterfield Road in Glen Ellyn.
Parenting in the digital age can be a challenge. But what challenges do young people face as they grow up in this tech world? How do they stay connected and not use to excess or engage in risky behavior? Let's ask teens and hear their thoughts. Repking of Cyber Safety Consulting will moderate a panel discussion with a cross-section of high school students. Lewaniak, a clinician at an Eating Recovery Center, will examine the implications of social media on our teens' communication skills, empathy, anxiety, and moods. Join us and learn how to parent today's teen with greater understanding and compassion.
GPS is generously sponsored by the Cebrin Goodman Center, Cooperative Association for Special Education (CASE), College of DuPage, DuPage Medical Group, Emmy Gaffey Foundation and Trust Company of Illinois.
