Wednesday, May 1 from 7:00 – 8:30 pm

Nancy Kratz, Ph.D. from Samaritan Interfaith will present ways on how we, as parents, deal with our “wired children” in this new digital age.  She’ll touch upon what parents really want to know about video gaming along with the effect of technology on your relationships and ourselves.  She’ll also discuss how we can be good digital citizens regarding privacy and safety and she’ll help us to make a parent-child technology contract.  Lastly, Dr. Kratz will talk about how we balance technology in our lives.  All parents are welcome to join Dr. Kratz in McSherry Hall on Wednesday, May 1^st from 6:30 – 8:00 pm.
