Brantford Collegiate Institute and Vocational
With Guest Speaker Margot Denomme, Author, Speaker, Parent and former Crown Attorney
With over 26 years of experience as a former Crown Attorney, Margot witnessed the devastating effects of low self-esteem and diminished confidence in children. As a mother of two daughters, she was deeply concerned about the unrealistic beauty standards set by mainstream and social media. Recognizing the links between poor self-worth, bullying, mental health issues, and future challenges, she embarked on a mission to address these issues.
Parents, teaches and other caregivers are the best role models for young teenagers when it comes to using smartphones safely. But how can you guide your child to make smart choice and stay safe online? How do you start those challenging conversations about responsible smartphone use? Margot Denomme will be sharing her best strategies, discussion prompts and tips for parent on keeping the internet safe, with examples of potential threats and the legal consequences of online actions.
