GPS event helped parent learn new social media trendsGPS

Liz Repking and Lynn Dugan
The Glenbard Parent Series: (GPS) Navigating Healthy Families presented Tweens, Teens and the Tech Trends of Today with Liz Repking yesterday. Glenbard West parent Lynn Dugan shared the following takeaway:  "I hope to teach my teens to make good decisions regarding social media and cyberspace in general but the landscape is challenging because it is ever-changing. Of course, we need to model good online behavior and help kids understand 'What goes online stays online.' This presentation gave me a chance to learn new things (have you heard of Kik?) and equipped me for the important dialogue I want to continue with my kids."
