webinar
How much screen time is too much? How do we keep children safe online? Many parents are wary of letting their children use technology too much or too early, with good reason.

She’s also the mother of two boys with practical experience navigating the same technology issues encountered by other parents. In this webinar, Michele provides answers to your most pressing questions about children and technology, including practical tips for keeping kids safe online.
