Do you remember how old you were when your parents sat you down to have “the talk”? You know, the one about where babies come from? Or maybe the talk came from one of your teachers, or an older sibling, or from one of your peers. What we know now, as adults, and especially as parents, is that “the talk” is really more like a conversation that grows with time. Just like our children. On this episode, we are lucky to be joined by parenting expert, human sexuality educator and author Deborah Roffman. Deborah has been named one of Time Magazine's “Top Sixteen Parenting Experts for the 21st Century,” and her three previously published books for parents and teachers are considered classics in the field. She will be with us again on a webinar on January 19th, so this podcast is a bit of a teaser for that presentation. All are invited to join us virtually on the 19th. The event will not be recorded, so please register online here and plan to pull up a chair from 6-8pm mountain time.

Devorah Heitner is not just another mom concerned about raising a digital native. She uses her Ph.D. in Technology to research, teach, write, and lecture about how families everyday lives are affected by digital media, smartphones, and video games. She’s the author of Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World. And her work has appeared in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and TIME magazine. Devorah did a great TEDx talk about cultivating a culture of empathy and social/emotional literacy around kids and technology. She recently wrote a fantastic article for the Washington Post about how a smartphone would’ve saved her mother who had learning disabilities. Anytime parents find out her line of work, she gets cornered because every parent is anxious about their kids' multi-tasking, their social skills, them taking and receiving naughty pictures, cyberbullying, and well…the list can go on. But Devorah paints a brighter picture. She’s a media historian here today to let us know our concerns over digital media are a normal cycle of historical anxiety, and although we need to be cautious about the technology, we also need to celebrate the freedom the technology allows us and our families.     Show Note Links: Raising Digital Natives   Devorah Heitner's book, "Screenwise"   Devorah Heitner's "Washington Post" article- "My Mother Struggled with Learning Disabilities.
