Where and When - West Shore Gym on Monday, June 12 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
With the constant surge of new information, programs, and apps the world is a click or text away. But with new advances come new dangers and concerns.

This presentation teaches parents the positives and potential pitfalls of today’s most popular programs.
Covered topics range from the following:
Social Networking: Concerns parents should have
Cyberbullying: How to talk to your children about getting involved
Texting and Sexting
