3. How to Stay Connected with Your Teenage Son

Is technology replacing quality time with your son? 

Growing up today is different to how most of us remember. Technology and its demands on our children are creating new ways to connect, but more ways to feel disconnected.

Trent Thomas, Mathematics teacher and Director of Formation at Redfield College, discusses how to build trust, make room for quality time and handle technology with your son in this episode. A father himself, Trent shares some tips he’s learned along the way to keep up with the world your son is growing up in and stay relevant to your son and his education.

Today’s attraction to technology, exposed to children at ages far earlier than before, poses a risk to father-son relationships, dedication to study and nurturing talents in young boys.

This episode will give you an insight into understanding your child’s perspective, cultivating a healthy use of time on technology at home, and keeping the important things in focus for your child during their most critical years as a student.
