iGen Parenting is a monthly education series for parents of tweens. It provides an opportunity to connect with other parents while learning about important topics facing today’s youth.

iGen Parenting will bring together experts in their fields to talk to parents about the issues that are troubling them most with raising tweens in today’s society. This series is aimed to provide parents valuable content while connecting them with a community of other parents who may be experiencing similar situations with their own children.

The series topics will include; drugs, emotional wellness, anxiety and depression, hate crimes and cyber safety to name a few. The presenters come from Common Sense Media, the Anti-Defamation League, Teen Law School as well as a variety of therapists who specifically work with this age children.

The remaining series topic line up is as follows:
Tuesday, October 15 – Raising Good Digital Citizens While Keeping Them Safe Online
Tuesday, November 19 – Keeping the Conversation Going with your Tween
Tuesday, January 14 – Your Tween’s Mood: When Is It More Than ‘Just a Phase’?
Tuesday, February 11 – Suicide Warning Signs
Tuesday, March 24 – No Place for Hate in the Schools (ADL Hate Crime Initiative)
Tuesday, April 21 – Arizona Laws and your Tween: What you don’t know

The idea for iGen Parenting grew out of Marni Steinberg’s desire to help a community of parents get information and talk about the issues facing tweens. The hope is that through sharing information, parents can support their children’s healthy development.

The series will be held at the Valley of the Sun JCC with two sessions at Pardes Jewish Day School. Sessions cost $18 per person.
