Join us as Dr. Devorah Heitner offers a dynamic parent talk detailing strategies to combat the changes in our home life during the shelter-in-place. She will cover topics including distance learning, screen time, anxiety, and understanding kids’ experiences with tech, friendship, and school. She will also discuss how we as parents can model healthy habits for our children, while maintaining much needed boundaries as our home becomes an office, conference room, classroom, workspace, and so much more.
