Cyber Safe

Ages 8 - 11 years

It is estimated that two out of three households have a computer and access to the internet. While this means access to many valuable resources, it also means that there are risks involved.

What that tells us is that kids either don’t know the rules, or don’t understand the seriousness of the threat.

Often we communicate based on our assumptions about how another person feels or what he/she is thinking. We then take action or respond based on those assumptions, which may be, but are often not, correct. In this fun and empowering class we will examine how effectively we are actually communicating in our personal or business relationships, look at where and why we are hesitant to communicate more directly, and learn skills ranging from asking “open” questions to listening more actively and productively.
