Status Update: Digital Safety and Well-being in the Elementary Years 3/19/25 (Scheduled Webinar)

Children today experience the world in a state of "digital immersion" where the lines between offline and online experiences continue to blur. At the same time, parents and caregivers are getting conflicting advice about the impact of technology on kids and teens. Evidence does show that elementary school is a window of opportunity for shaping digital habits. In this interactive and energizing presentation, Erin Walsh will use brain science, warmth, and humor to cut through conflicting messages, walk you through the latest evidence, and deliver practical strategies for online safety and digital well-being.
