Community Conversation with Dr. Jordan Shapiro |
Thursday, November 11, 7 pm
At a moment when many of us are still grappling with the radical shift that the pandemic wrought on our families’ relationship to technology, Jordan’s book could not be timelier. In The New Childhood, he explores parental anxiety, the role of gaming in play & poses the provocative idea that rather than hindering our children's development, gaming & technology play a critical role in guiding our children toward a healthy & rewarding future.
Valley Forge Middle School PTO & Tredyffrin Public Library are thrilled to present a virtual Fireside Chat with Dr. Shapiro. RSVP is required for this program-- all registrants will receive a Zoom link closer to the time of the event.
You can order a signed copy of The New Childhood from Main Point Books. 20% of all sales will go to the VFMS PTO & the libraries!
