The Suffolk Times: "Guest Column: The Challenge of Raising 'Screenagers'"

PCS co-director Liz Casey Searl authored a Guest Column in The Suffolk Times in which she talks about the challenges of raising "Screenagers," and our imperative responsibility as parents and educators to teach children online citizenry.  
"Technology is here to stay," Liz writes, "and is a tool with many benefits and advantages for adults and young people alike. But its very power is what makes our responsibility to prepare and supervise our children that much more urgent."
Liz introduces PCS's digital citizenry initiative and invites the community to join us at PCS for a viewing of "SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age," March 27th at 7pm.
"We spend our children’s early years helping them learn how to share, how to be kind, how to use good manners and how to help others," Liz writes. "We now need to teach our kids how to apply these very same ideas to their digital life. We owe it to them to help them learn these skills and we owe it to society at large."
