Our kids need digital mentors to become the best people they can be in our connected world. Thinking about getting your child a first phone? I’ve got a course your can take, at your own pace, to get ready!
Need a parent talk or teacher workshop?
Here’s what people are saying about my virtual and in-person talks:
Devorah hosted a webinar for thousands of employees at leading companies around how to make distance learning work for kids during the pandemic. The parents who attended shared that Devorah’s guidance gave them practical advice and tips on how to best support their kids – and themselves – right now. Her perspective and expertise on how to guide children in this digital age is what parents need right now.
Devorah, I want to thank you for sharing your research and advice, especially tailored for these strange times. What I really liked about what you just shared with us is that it both had a broad kind of overarching and connecting themes and the “in the weeds” detailed advice we are craving as parents, especially right now.
