TechTips for Wampus TechSmart is a program by the Byram Hills PTSA to provide information, programs and resources to help families navigate parenting issues related to the internet, media and technology. February TechTip – Safer Internet Day is February 10. Take some time to learn a little more about where kids and adults are spending most of their time – the Internet! Pause Before You Post – Repeat this mantra to yourself and your kids early and often. Avoid Oversharing – Public? Private? With Friends? With Everyone? Update your privacy settings and get permission from others pictured in your post. Protect Your Identity and Reputation – what you and your kids post today WILL be seen by future colleges, employers, friends, spouses and maybe voters! Be Positive – give compliments, help others, promote good digital citizenship. Communication is one of the most important aspects of parenting in the digital age. Speak regularly with your children about safe, appropriate and responsible use of technology.

Crittenden Middle School The Byram Hills PTSA and C.H.I.L.D. (Children Having Individual Life Differences) invite parents to this informative session beginning with a brief overview of languagebased learning disabilities: What is a language-Based Learning Disability?

Kirsten Cullen-Sharma, PsyD, is a clinical assistant professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at the NYU School of Medicine. She is a child psychologist and neuropsychologist at the Child Study Center who specializes in a whole child approach through evaluating children’s development and potential, and through coaching parents and teachers in evidence-based strategies that help children succeed at home, at school, and in relationships.

Dr. Cullen Sharma has presented locally as well as internationally, written book reviews, and published in scholarly journals and handbooks. The Science of Happiness Wednesday, March 18, 7:30 pm @ Byram Hills H.S. What are the advantages that happiness has on our pursuit of success? No matter what your focus is in life, happiness is a key advantage in the pursuit of success. Be it in athletic competition, academic or creative domains, business or parenting, the science of positive psychology offers evidence-based and practical strategies for individuals, teams, and families who strive to realize their potential in both their personal and professional lives. Come hear Dr. Alan Schlechter and Dan Lerner answer this question and many more… In a fun, dynamic, and informative presentation, Dan Lerner and Alan Schlechter will show listeners of all ages how to integrate positive psychology and performance psychology into their lives so that they can be the best — and happiest — that they can be. Dr. Alan Schlechter is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the NYU School of Medicine and Director, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic at Bellevue Hospital Center. His areas of interest are positive psychology and preventive psychiatry. Dan Lerner has long been fascinated with performance excellence and the realization of unique potential.
