The DoSeum’s Outside the Lunchbox Luncheon series brings distinguished authors and leaders in the field of education to San Antonio to discuss today’s most relevant topics in the field of education, parenting, and issues affecting families. This year's keynote speaker will be Dr. Devorah Heitner.

Heitner is the authority that parents turn to for empowering, research-based advice on raising resilient and kind kids in our always-connected, increasingly challenging world. Advocating for mentoring, not (just) monitoring. During the luncheon, Dr. Heitner will share fresh insights about Digital Natives, communication across the generations and what it’s really like to grow up in the digital age. Dr. Heitner will address common fears and concerns with research-based, realistic approaches, and a developmentally-focused, tech-positive mindset. Her talk will take on common issues ranging from repairing digital mistakes and increasing empathy in our digital interactions to understanding changing conceptions of personal privacy and creating a culture of responsible, digital citizenship.
