**Give Them the Right Words**
Kids learn about appropriate verbal and physical communication from watching you. But online conversations can be invisible. Occasionally, narrate as you're writing texts or social media comments when your kids are in earshot.
OHS parents, It’s not to late. Please sign up by noon on Wednesday if you plan to join us! Michelle.maris@olympia.org

**Help Kids Make Friends and Interact Safely Online**
So much of kids' social lives happens online. Whether they're texting with their study group, flirting on social media, or voice-chatting on game platforms, middle and high schoolers can learn to communicate in safe and healthy ways. These skills will help kids -- and the people they're communicating with -- have positive experiences online.
- Give them the right words.
- Learn about their worlds.
- Empathize with the pressure to overshare.
- Develop their instincts.
OHS parents it’s been a tough couple years, come take a break with us!
