🎁Every family who attends will be entered for a chance to win a Ninja Creami ice cream machine, Amazon Kindle, 3D printer, or Bluetooth speaker
At this event, parents will learn: How too much screen time can impact motivation, mental health, physical health, and school success The warning signs that a child may be feeling overwhelmed, distracted, anxious, or emotionally drained Simple, realistic ways to set boundaries around screens and create healthier daily habits How to start better conversations at home so kids feel supported, connected, and more in control of their tech use

| | | Many teen relationships start with a “Snap” (Snapchat message), a follow, or a late-night DM/Direct Message instead of a phone number. What feels casual and normal to teens can also make it easier for strangers to start conversations, build trust, and hide behind fake identities.
In this short video and guide, parents will get a closer look at how social media is shaping teen dating, the risks that come with features like “Find Friends” and “Snap Map,” and how to have calmer, smarter conversations that help teens stay safe while still feeling understood. |

| | What Parents Are Saying About Our Events…
"I attended a live event with my two children. I learned about ways that my children can phrase their questions when requesting help from AI. I also learned of the dangerous apps that are out there, which our kids have easy access to. This information will help me be more aware of what apps my children are downloading and using." - Parent, Dinuba Unified School District
"I’m aware of the importance of being cautious when posting online. Tonight, I learned how to use social media and online posts in a positive way that can influence my daughter positively in the future. Loved it!" - Parent, New York City Geographic District No. 9 |

| Teen Slang of the Week
“Lowkenuinly” Means: Low Key + Genuinely
Lowkenuinly is an adverb used to describe a feeling or opinion that is 100% true and sincere, but one that the speaker isn't necessarily shouting from the rooftops. It’s used when you want to admit to something without making a "big deal" out of it.
"I lowkenuinly think that new pop song is a masterpiece, even though the artist is cringe." |
