Max Stossel:
Social Media And Your Kids
Wednesday, October 23 | 7-8 p.m.
On Wednesday, October 23, The Rumson Country Day School will welcome Max Stossel, an award-winning artist, the Founder of Social Awakening: an organization dedicated to helping young people survive and thrive in the modern world, and the Youth & Education Advisor for the Center for Humane Technology, a group working to realign technology with humanity (as featured in The Social Dilemma).
Max's parent presentation will illustrate some of the specific ways technology is designed to be addictive & distracting, highlight how that's impacting our kids’ minds, and give recommendations on how to address some of the challenges you and your family are facing. This presentation concludes with open space to discuss what’s working and not working in our households.
Before working in this field, Max was a media strategist with an extensive background in social media. He ran social media for big brands and later worked for a social media company where he designed some notifications to distract people. He has spent the past seven years speaking with 100,000+ students, parents, and educators around the world about social media's impact on our lives, and creating resources to help manage that impact.
We extend a warm invitation to ALL parents, guardians, and community members to join us, and encourage you to bring friends along for an enriching experience. To attend this event, we kindly request that you complete the registration form below.
