Hi, I'm Gena Peth and I am a parent like you!
I hear from the families I work with "My teenager spends so much time on their devices!" I have a teenager that has spent a lot of time on devices and needs a screen break. I am sure you can relate. I though it would be fun to get the community involved with us as we be intentional about being purposeful with technology for a week! We have been feeling disconnected and this could be a fun way to connect! I also have a teen grandson that plans to join us. We have a project in mind that we plan to share with everyone and we think it will be useful. We can't wait to announce it and get started!
I have been in the technology field for over 25 years and analyzed a lot of student data and statistics. I have noticed a lot of positives that can come from technology when used in the right way. Sadly, our youth can get pulled in and lost in it and become disconnected. As a family, we have not been without our struggles and I desire a safe non-judgmental space for parents and teens to share how they are struggle. I have been running a Social Technologies Training and Family Communication Program and I have found that family's can communicate much better about social technologies and gaming when they have a technology and communication strategy plan I help them developed. I would love to share some of those strategies with you during the challenge.
