Raising Critical Thinkers: Media Literacy for the Digital Age
With author Julie Sweeney Bogart
Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022, 4 p.m. ET

Tech-savvy kids today are constantly awash in an onslaught of unfiltered information. How can parents help them at every stage of development to cultivate an ability to safely explore the world around them with an understanding of how their loyalties and biases affect how they assimilate information and form their beliefs? In this free Dec. 6 ParentEd Talks event, Julie Bogart, author of “The Brave Learner: Finding Everyday Magic in Homeschool, Learning, and Life,” will draw on her more than 20 years of curriculum development experience to share strategies for parents to coach critical digital literacy skills in their kids.

The Manhattan Adult ADD Support Group will have its next lecture on Thursday October 20, 2022 at 06:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) on Zoom: The topic will be: ADHD & Anxiety In Adults. Our presenter will be Psychologist Sharon Saline, PSYD.

Since the pandemic, ADHD diagnoses have risen steeply. While anxiety levels have gone through the roof.

Where does ADHD end, and anxiety begin? Can certain symptoms show up in either? If both disorders are present, can the combination pack an extra punch?

Tough questions, but our presenter is among the best.
Psychologist Sharon Saline works with kids, families and adults. She specializes in ADHD and learning issues.

A prolific writer, she's the author two books: The ADHD Solution Card Deck; and What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew. Her work appears in ADDitude, Psychology Today, Your Tango, and elsewhere.

Dr. Saline also leads workshops -- across the world -- on such subjects as executive functioning; different kinds of learners; the teenage brain; and our upcoming topic: anxiety.

We live by the motto: Were Not Lazy, Crazy, or Stupid :)

To register for this lecture , please send E mail to [email protected] (please include your first name & E mail address).
Free Event!
