What you should know – Parenting in the 21st century has unique challenges.
- Teenagers are constantly distracted by the need to keep updated with social media; how many likes and what comments are on their posts. Many feel that they need to respond to others immediately, and can read into the ways in which others respond with negative thoughts.
- Multi-tasking whilst online is common throughout the day.
- Online gaming is common for many young people
- Understanding the use and abuse of technology is a challenge for many parents
Dr Quratulain Zaidi’s workshop will start to discuss how to help students overcome these obstacles, by developing their sense of responsibility, perseverance, self esteem and self-regulation. There will be a 40 minute presentation followed by a questions and answer session. To confirm attendance, email: rsvp@online.island.edu.hk
