Bullying and Cyber Bullying
This is a no-nonsense video for parents of children from 5th grade through early high school. The topic is bullying - why, who is most likely, social media, smart phones, and techniques the average parent can use to detect and correct.
Meghan McCoy of the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center does a fabulous job with this complex topic.

Real Parents, Real Talk About Kids And Screens
We live in a world of screens. And in this digital age — with so many devices and distraction — it's one of the things parents worry about most: How much time should their kids spend staring at their phones and computers? What's the right balance between privacy and self-discovery?

Are You a Distracted Parent?
In Highlights Magazine’s annual State of the Kid Survey, a nationally representative sample of 6- to 12- year olds were asked, “Are your parents ever distracted when you are trying to talk to them?” 62 percent of children said yes, and, when asked, “What distracts them?” - the most frequently mentioned distractor was cell phones (28%) followed by siblings (25%) and work (16%).
