eParenting® High-Tech Kids

We are piloting with the Purdue Extenstion office. (Warrick County)

eParenting® High-Tech Kids

You know the appeal that technology holds for kids – cell phones, tablets, gaming, social media, and on and on! And no doubt, you’re aware of the negative impacts that technology can have on youth. But what about the positive ways it can be used to support your child’s wellbeing?

 

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Purdue Extension to bring you eParenting® High-Tech Kids. Rather than focus on the negatives, eParenting® provides ideas on using digital media to stay close to your child and strengthen family relationships.

 

Starting this month and through mid-May, you will be receiving weekly email blasts with “Be an eParent” in the subject line. With just a click or two, you will be linked to a blog site from University of Wisconsin-Extension where you can read short practical positive tips on using digital media with your child.

 

To determine the benefits of eParenting, there will be a chance at the end of the semester to share your thoughts. Please do reply to this short evaluation so we know how eParenting is working!
