The Impact of Social Media on Children and Families

Understanding Influence. Building Awareness. Protecting Futures.

Social media is more than just a pastime, it shapes identities, influences choices, and impacts emotional well-being. The Impact of Social Media on Children and Families training helps participants uncover the hidden effects of technology and media, while equipping them with tools to make healthier, more informed decisions online. Through critical analysis and practical strategies, families and professionals gain the awareness needed to navigate the digital age responsibly.

We incorporate our knowledge of human behavior and the need for acceptance to help individuals identify why they make the choices they make online. By examining songs, music videos, and advertisement campaigns, we help identify the impact of imagery and subliminal messages and assist them in making distinctions between fantasy and reality.

Course Overview:

This training explores the intersection of human behavior, media influence, and family dynamics. Participants will:

  • Examine Songs, Videos, and Ads – Understand how subliminal messages, fantasy, and imagery shape perceptions of reality.
  • Unpack Media Influence – Analyze how media drives self-perception, gender roles, and relationship expectations.
  • Explore Emotional Impact – Learn how technology affects mental health, self-esteem, and behavior.
  • Address Parenting Challenges – Discover strategies to monitor and support children in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
  • Define Media Literacy – Build skills to critically evaluate and filter online content for truth and safety.

Why It Matters:

Young people often internalize media messages as truth, shaping their self-worth and worldview. By developing media literacy and digital awareness, families can protect children from harmful influences and empower them to use technology as a tool for growth rather than a source of harm.

Equip yourself and your family with the tools to thrive in the digital age.
