The Family Smartphone Guide (West)

Presented by Margot L. Denommé, JDFormer Crown Attorney | International Speaker | Author | Founder of RAADD and Celebrate YOU Inside Out

Would you hand your child a car without teaching them the rules of the road? Smartphones are just as powerful and without guidance, just as dangerous.

Join Margot Denommé, a former Crown Attorney and justice reform leader, for a powerful session on how smartphones affect children’s physical health, mental well-being and legal safety.

With more than a decade of speaking to students across Canada and the United States about self-esteem and the culture of comparison, Margot offers parents clear strategies grounded in law, lived experience and child advocacy.

Topics include:

• How digital footprints affect privacy, reputation and future opportunities
• The impact of screen time and social media on mental health and self-esteem
• Legal risks such as cyberbullying, intimate image sharing and criminal harassment
• Emerging threats including AI voice cloning scams and dangerous viral challenges
• How families are joining movements like Unplugged Canada to restore balance and play
