There's an {Empathy} App for That!

  • Posted March 7, 2016

Back in the day, what was said at the playground stayed at the playground. These days our kids don't just have playgrounds with swings and seesaws, but they also have "playgrounds" like Snapchat, texting, Instagram and Mindcraft. And in those playgrounds, what is said can be permanently harmful and can go viral in an instant. How do we help our kids be mindful, respectful, and responsible citizens while navigating the pitfalls of this digital age? Come and join the conversation while we explore this issue of raising kids in this digital age with our guest keynote, Dr. Devorah Heitner, researcher and TEDx speaker on The Challenges of Raising a Digital Native (Empathy Is the App).
