Goal: There is a world on the web that is displayed on the phones and
computers of our students that is largely out of sight from adults. This
workshop will address the ever evolving digital world that children live within.
Parents will take a tour of the current digital world of our youth, and visit the
sites and communication methods they spend time with.
Objectives: As it is not uncommon for digital communications to be hurtful,
we will address the digital behaviors, speech, and communications trending
among our youth. Participants will review how to educate our youth to
maintain their safety, and engage each other with respect and civility in the
absence of face to face interaction.
Method: A one-hour guided tour of popular sites, media and technology
being used by our youth. While not necessary, feel free to bring your digital
devices to venture into places where your children may be spending their
time. Emphasis will be placed on how communication has changed recently
and how the anonymity of electronic communication can bring unintended
consequences.

Topic Three: Empowering Student Bystanders to Prevent Bullying
Goal: The single, most effective intervention into a bullying incident is peer
involvement. Students see the bullying and mistreatment of their peers, but
few intervene. There are many reasons why kids dont intervene. Fear of
being harmed, fear of having their reputation damaged, fear of making it
worse, not knowing what to do the list goes on. Students have reported, in
significant numbers, that if they knew what to do to help out a peer being
mistreated, they would do so. This workshop is devoted to providing the
information, strategies and experience for parents and school staff to then, in
turn, provide the guidance and direction to students so they may intervene
on behalf of their peers.
Objectives: This workshop will provide the guidance to parents on how to
educate their children in the process of safely intervening in bullying
incidents, and creating a positive peer climate in their schools and other
social settings. The focus will be on safe and effective interventions in
bullying incidents without damage to social status or reputation. A wide range
