Building Better Bridges for our Young People

Shreveport based counselor and author of “Building Better Bridges: A Guidebook To Having Difficult Conversations That Can Save Our Children” Clint Davis spoke to a group of Natchitoches parents and teens at the city’s Martin Luther King Recreation Center, Wednesday, May 8.

Davis’ talk centered on the dangers of smartphones and social media facing children and teens as well as practical steps parents can take to protect their children. One of the main challenges parents and teachers face is realizing just how much has changed since their teen years when smartphones did not exist.

The talk was sponsored by the Natchitoches Parish School Board’s Aware 2 Program. Dinner was provided by First Baptist Church on Second Street and served by the young men and women of their youth program. NCHS students also volunteered to keep younger family members of those attending busy with stickers and coloring while their parents learned.
