Inform and Empower
St John's Mitcham was very excited to welcome Martin, an expert educator, and Carley, an experienced psychologist, from Inform & Empower to our school recently for a parent information evening.
The 90 minute Raising Kids in a Digital World seminar shared evidence-based strategies as well as practical tips and up-to-date insights. This ensured our parent community left with current knowledge as well as the skillset, toolset and mindset they need to be able to support their children as they navigate the online world.
Martin and Carley explored a range of topics including:
- Social media
- Impacts of screen time
- Online gaming
- Cyberbullying
- Child/tween online trends
- Explicit/adult content
- Mentor parenting
- Family communication
- Parental controls
It was an informative and enjoyable session and St John's continues to support the work of Inform & Empower through our termly student webinars.
