In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, school-age children are navigating unprecedented challenges and opportunities. This comprehensive training explores the intersection of child development theory and digital media, equipping Out-of-School Time (OST) educators with essential knowledge and practical strategies. Participants will examine how developmental theories apply to the digital age, understand the three spheres of influence (family, peers, and OST programs), and learn to address critical issues, including screen time management, cyberbullying prevention, body image concerns, and social-emotional development.
