Dear BHS Parents and Guardians:

Thank you for all the RSVPs already for the upcoming event.  This
next parent education evening came about as a result of numerous
requests from parents who want to learn how to handle conflicts with
teens regarding the amount of time spent on-line with gaming,
facebook/myspace, texting, etc.

Teens and Screen Time --- How To Handle Technology Related Conflicts
Wednesday, April 1
7:00 to 9:00pm
BHS Library

Are technology related issues the source of anger and frustration in
your family?  For many families, there are continuous struggles over
video games, the internet and cell phones. 

Find out more about levels of risk related to on-line activities,
appropriateness of on-line behaviors and define areas of conflict
and concern. Learn practical tips to improve communication and
establish appropriate limits. On-line gaming, the use of facebook
and texting will be discussed. 

Our presenter will be Jason Brand, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
and family therapist with a technology background.  Jason works with
families and provides workshops on "bridging the screen divide" in
order to help families learn how to better manage these particular
types of conflicts. 

Once again, thank you to the PTSA and the BHS Development Group for
sponsoring and providing funding and to all the parents and
guardians who attend.  We look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
