Parenting requires an entirely new set of skills when the offspring come of age to be wandering around barefoot in cyberspace.
Know that stupefying, sinking feeling that the youngsters in your life are out at sea without an anchor in their roving internet adventures? Not yet figured out your role in varying degrees of practical parental policing of juvenile enthusiastic, MySpace and Facebook activity? Here's an event for Bay Area-based moms and dads to add to their digital datebooks:
Petaluma-based, online techno-journalist and self-acclaimed 'Chief TWiT', Leo Laporte, his fearless and cleverly caustic wife Jennifer and their two teenage children are set to host an enlightening participatory public conversation about teenagers' internet use.
Learn how to make use of this powerful tool that is the net while safeguarding your children's privacy, relationships and future reputations.
Leo hosts and produced today's most popular technology shows on the internet and was recently ranked #12 in Forbes' list of the top 24 Web Celebs. The fact that he and Jennifer succeeded in persuading their kids to join them in a frank and open forum on teen internet use is surely credit to their own potent, parenting skills!
Free and open to the public, Wired Families, Safe Kids takes place on Thursday, March 4th, 2010 at 6.30 pm in the Fitzsimmons Black Box Theater at Sonoma Academy. To RSVP call 707 545 1770.
