Teenagers today face challenges unknown before. They are inundated with media wherever they are. Parents are confronted with constant decision making regarding ipods, cell phones, text messaging, social neteworking, video games and whatever else is on the horizon.

In a public talk for parents of teenagers, on Wednesday, January 20 at 7:30 pm, at Waldorf High School, Betty Staley will explore with parents ways to understand teenagers' releationship to media and how they can be the masters of it rather than being mastered by it.

This talk, sponsored by Waldorf High School Parent Teacher Organization, is open to the public.
