In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s on so many parents’ minds — kids, technology, and how we keep them safe both online and offline. This is a HUGE topic and one that we will cover again in the future, but for now, it will be two episodes, starting today with keeping kids safe online. Next time, we will go into helping to keep our kids safe offline.
We talk about the upsides and downsides of tech for kids, what’s really going on with safety in the world today, and how much we should be sharing with our kids about the scary stuff without overwhelming them. Our goal is for you to walk away from these two episodes feeling empowered, not anxious.
