It’s harder than ever to keep up with the avalanche of new digital platforms and social networks that are popular among kids and teens. In response to these challenges, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office is organizing an educational event titled "Parenting in a Digital Age." This initiative aims to equip parents with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively navigate the complexities of raising children in a technology-driven environment.

The event will cover a range of topics, including the latest trends in social media, online safety, and the potential risks associated with digital interactions. Experts will share insights on how to foster open communication with children about their online activities and the importance of setting boundaries. Parents will also learn strategies for monitoring their children's digital footprints while respecting their privacy.

As technology continues to evolve, understanding its impact on youth is crucial. This event promises to be an invaluable resource for parents striving to create a safe and supportive digital landscape for their children.
