Digital Addiction in Children with Paul Tieger and Michael Shelby

Psychologist Michael Shelby and personality expert Paul D. Tieger will discuss their new book, ReConnect, which         explores how digital addiction in both parents and children has resulted in skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and potentially suicide in children and adolescents. Based on scientific research, the book helps parents better understand their child’s potential vulnerabilities, appreciate how the parent’s and child’s personality similarities and differences impact their relationship, and provides individualized advice that helps parents know how to best engage and support their child, and develop the healthiest, most open relationship. 

This program will take place on Wednesday, June 3 at 6:30 PM. Registration is required. To register, please call the Reference Desk at 860-285-1918.
