The digital age offers new and wonderful possibilities, but it has also created increased stress and anxiety, especially for parents.
How much screen time is too much?
When is it OK for my son to use digital devices and for how long?
These days, it is not enough to simply unplug or limit screen time.
Technology is moving fast, and today’s parents are in uncharted territory when it comes to managing a child’s activity and education in the digital age.
Dr. Anthony Rao’s presentation, “Raising Boys in the Digital Age” will provide insights on when technology can be helpful and when it can be harmful throughout a boy’s development.
