Christ the Redeemer faculty and administration are pleased to present a series of informative workshops for parents throughout the school year. At least once per quarter, parents will be invited to learn and ask questions about different aspects of CtRCS. We will post our presentations, along with other resources here.
Ms. Jenna McGaw, from Crime Stoppers of Houston, came to our school to present to parents on the dangers and necessary precautions for safe internet usage. As you know, our kids are now online more than ever to stay connected and informed, for educational learning and research, online shopping, and for entertainment. With 10.3 years being the average age U.S. kids get a smartphone and 1-in-2 children having a social media account by age 12, it is more important than ever to understand how the cyber world works and the potential risks that come along with navigating the internet.
Ms. McGaw was able to teach our families and our students how to stay safe while they stay connected with family and friends, learn, play, socialize via text and social media apps, among many other things. We must inform ourselves about the potential dangers and risks related to navigating the internet. See a sheet for Cyber Safety Tips for Parents linked below.
In addition to hearing a bit about how Love and Logic® is used at CtRCS, parents learned some quick and easy parenting strategies, which they could begin to use immediately with their children! Be on the lookout for more Love and Logic learning opportunities in the Chronicle.
