Navigate the Digital World with Knowledge, Not Fear
Your tween will encounter digital challenges whether they have electronics or not or not. Are you prepared for the challenge?
This dynamic 2½ hour interactive class tackles one of today's most pressing parenting challenges: How to prepare their child to safely navigate social media and create an environment where they feel comfortable turning to their parents for guidance.
Two Options: One parent & tween or tween & both parents
🌱 Why This Class is Essential Right Now
Your tween is already encountering social media pressures, whether they're actively online or just hearing about it from friends. Rather than hoping they'll figure it out on their own, this class gives both of you the tools to handle these situations before they become problems.
📱 WHAT YOU'LL BOTH GAIN FROM SELF-ESTEEM & SOCIAL MEDIA
FOR YOUR TWEEN (AGES 10-12)
Tools to better handle social media situations
Understanding how digital interactions affect self-worth and self-esteem

Comfort in approaching parent with digital dilemmas
FOR YOU, AS THEIR PARENT:
Deep insight into your child's digital world and challenges
Practical strategies for addressing social media issues
Enhanced communication skills for ongoing digital discussions
Peace of mind knowing your child has the tools to navigate online safely
⏲️ TIMING IS EVERYTHING.
We don’t dance around the hard stuff. We dive straight into the messy, everyday moments kids actually face, like:
Handling exclusion from online friend groups
Responding to cyberbullying or mean behavior
Navigating beauty filters and unrealistic social media images
Dealing with inappropriate content exposure
Understanding the difference between online friendships and real relationships
Recognizing when to seek help from trusted adults
📱Unlike generic internet safety talks, this class helps tweens develop internal decision-making skills.
They don’t just memorize rules—they learn how to think for themselves, handle tricky situations, and make smart choices even when parents aren’t around.
📲 What to expect during class ⤵️
Phase 1:
Separate Perspectives
Parents and tweens initially work together, responding to the same real-world social media scenarios. This allows:
Tweens to share honest thoughts without worrying about parents' reactions
Parents to explore both their own perspectives AND predict their child's responses
A commonality is established that creates an opening for future conversation
Phase 2:
Powerful Group Discussion
When we reconvene, the magic happens. This allows:
Parents gain invaluable insight into their tweens' digital world.
Tweens understand their parents' concerns aren't just "being difficult"—they're coming from love and experience.
📲 The External Pressure Reality
Today's tweens face unprecedented pressures from peers and media that previous generations never experienced. This class acknowledges that reality while building the internal foundation your child needs to withstand those external pressures—not just now, but throughout their teenage years.
