Technology's Influence over Children's Beliefs and Behaviors
Presented by Dr. Kathy Koch of Celebrate Kids, Inc.

Technology is powerful and helpful in many ways, but it can also contribute to children's unhealthy beliefs, negative attitudes, immature character, and unwise actions. Learn how technology can impact behavior and practical, realistic things you can do to help your children.
