Today we are diving DEEP into the crucial world of parenting in the digital age with our special guest, internet safety expert Katie Greer! Katie is the former director of internet safety for the MA Attorney General's Office, and was directly involved with the development of one of the first internet safety programs ever.
Katie educates us on popular but problematic apps and games (ie., call of duty and discord), and some crazy stories she's encountered on them, and WOW, we were shocked to hear what really goes on behind the icons!
This episode is full of shock factors as we uncover how kids are hiding risky apps and content from their parents, and the importance of safety around technology. Our children are simply too young and not emotionally equipped to navigate that deep dark web.
We learn invaluable tips and tricks to gain insight into our children's online social lives, and strategies for reducing screen time to make sure we focus on social skills that are just so crucial for development.
The biggest takeaway for us, as parents to young children, is that the journey of safeguarding our kids begins today – don’t wait until it’s too late! Tune in now for a conversation that will revolutionize your approach to parenting in the digital era.
