Dr Hogan will offer practical advice and insights on managing screen time, promoting healthy digital habits, and fostering strong communication with tech-savvy children. The talk is open to all parents of primary and secondary school children.
Dr Hogan said: “I am really looking forward to meeting everyone in Killarney and I will discuss how to develop a harmonious home with that tech savvy child. It’s the issue facing all parents and everything I look at is based on my own experience as a parent, and from my work in schools over 25 years. This event in Killarney will be very open and we can interact with each other and people can ask me any questions they wish.”
Mary Carroll, Chairperson of the Gaelscoil Faithleann Parents Council, said: “We were looking for a guest speaker who would really inform parents on the issues affecting them today and we are delighted that we could organise Dr Richard Hogan to come to Killarney. His work in the media is followed by many, and his advice is practical and relevant for parents today. He will provide practical tips for addressing the challenges of social media, gaming, and technology use in everyday family life.”
This event is open to all parents in all schools, and we welcome everyone to attend. Places are limited so make sure to book in advance on bit.ly/richardhogan to secure a seat.”
Mary Carroll added:, “The number one issue for all parents at the moment, is how to manage screentime in this new digital age, and this is an opportunity to hear from an expert and ask any questions that you have. We will provide the facility to ask questions anonymously by having a question box, which Dr Hogan will go through and answer during his presentation.”
Tickets are €10 and can be booked at bit.ly/richardhogan or paid for in cash at the door.
