Teens in a digital age – rekindling communication

Winter workshop – 9.30 – 16.30 – Online

With Cori Anderberg – Michaela Glöckler –  Lou Harvey-Zahra – Christian Taylor

With the increase in technology being introduced to children at such a young age it’s no wonder that we have forgotten how to communicate, converse with nature and enjoy outdoor life.

By the time a child has become a teenager they have had nine years of many mediums bombarding them, before long we find they are addicted to this life style, it’s a way of blocking out any emotional upheaval that they may have experienced, it becomes the new way of life. It is far too easy to place a child in front of a screen than to play with them.

A life where reality has little to do with play as they escape into a parallel universe. Gone is the free thinking, creativity and conversation.

Often when a teenager is brought to us, the issue is not theirs but lies with the parent/s

Being a teenager is hard enough work its about finding your own identity and self-discovery. It can be difficult enough for them to communicate – throwing in the digital age has made this more challenging.

Having to behave in a certain way, the way peers are towards each other, bullying and other abuse are all shaping our future generations, with more mental emotional problems resulting.

We have created a world that dates on line, shops on line, games on line and finds escapism on line to the point that nothing is real.

When a teenager stops communicating, we are too quick to blame it on their age, when in reality it’s the parents that have stopped communicating.

The winter workshop will explore these challenges looking at what practical things we can do to help our lost teens and parents and what approaches can be undertaken homeopathically.
