A Powerful Evening for Parents: Helping Our Kids Navigate the Digital World

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming parent workshop:

Raising Kids in a Digital World Parenting Workshop
Date: April 9, 2026, Doors open 5:30, Start 6 pm
Location: Cardinal Leger Catholic Secondary School, 75 Mary Street, Brampton, Ontario

We will be welcoming Lucy Colangelo, founder of ShineOn Student Success, who works with schools across Ontario helping families navigate the growing challenges of technology use.

Many families are noticing real changes in their children — shorter attention spans, increased anxiety, difficulty staying motivated, and ongoing struggles around screen time. This session will help make sense of what’s happening and, more importantly, what you can do about it.

During the evening, you will learn:

How digital platforms are shaping attention, motivation, and wellbeing
Why screen habits can be so difficult for kids to manage on their own
Practical strategies to reset technology use at home
How parents and schools can work together to better support students

This is an important opportunity to gain insight, tools, and confidence as a parent in today’s digital world.

We encourage all parents and caregivers to attend.

Sincerely,

Your CCCSC & DPCDSB Hosts

Parents are talking

"I walked into this workshop feeling overwhelmed and defensive about screens in our home. I left with clarity, confidence, and an actual plan. We’ve already made changes — and the tension in our house has decreased dramatically."

— Parent

"This wasn’t fear-based or unrealistic. Lucy gave us practical tools we could implement immediately. Within two weeks, my son’s focus improved and our nightly battles over devices almost disappeared."

— Grade 8 Parent

"I thought this was going to be another talk telling us to take the phones away. It wasn’t. It helped me understand what’s really happening in my child’s brain — and how to lead instead of react."

— High School Parent

Educators are talking

"Lucy has a rare ability to connect with both parents and students. Her message is balanced, research-informed, and deeply practical. Our community is still talking about the impact of this workshop."

— Elementary School Principal

Students are talking

"No one had ever explained screens like that before. It made me realize I wasn’t lazy — I was overloaded. I’ve started changing how I use my phone and I feel more relaxed and in control."

— Grade 11 Student

"This was great! You should really keep going with what you're doing!"

— Grade 8 Student
