SOCIAL MEDIA LAND MINES

PARENT Educational presentation
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5
6:30-8:00PM

Is your child on social media?  Are they glued to a smartphone or tablet?  Then you need to come to this presentation because although these can be powerful tools, with great power comes great responsibility! This presentation is called “Social Media Land Mines” because, like with a land mine, you might not see the danger coming until it’s too late. Parents need to know the latest trends and potential dangers and best practices to help their children navigate around these potential dangers.

For most parents, social media is overwhelming. There are thousands of apps and it’s a moving target; what is popular today is out tomorrow. During this highly interactive presentation you will learn simple techniques and receive powerful resources to help them stay up-to-date with the latest trends and apps to keep your kids safe.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
Whether you are tech savvy or have no idea what this whole “social media” stuff is about; whether your child is even using social media (yet) or if they are about to graduate high school, this presentation has something for all parents. You will not only leave this presentation understanding the potential issues, but with a variety of simple tips and tricks to help guide your child and promote responsible posting.

Parents will learn about:

Technology addiction and why it’s important to set limits.

Social media anxiety – what it is and to remember it’s not always about the “likes”.

Cyber bullying & hateful posting – why it’s so easy, why it’s so serious, and what to do if you see it.

Safety issues – posting too much personal information, online predators (who they are, who they target, and how they work), online challenges.

Sexting (only discuss when age appropriate) – potential consequences on reputation & possible legal consequences

Your digital reputation and who’s looking? (colleges, scholarships, coaches, employers, etc.)
