“Parents often tell me they feel relieved after hearing my talk or reading the book. And once parents stop being afraid of what teens and tweens are doing online, they can do what parents do best—set limits, provide guidance, and teach their children how to become young adults, online and off. Hopefully, an added benefit will be that parents end up being closer to their teens through engaging with them about their digital lives,” Goodstein says.
The Totally Wired PTA Tour (sponsored by Beinggirl.com and Real Girls Media) is kicking off in fall 2007 and will most likely be coming to Florida, Virginia, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, and Boston. If you are a member of a local PTA or other parents group in any of these areas and are interested in having Anastasia speak, please contact Greg Tirrell at greg@the-reason.com.
