EP 216 Tech & Teaching Tuesdays Digital Safety for all ages: Tips, and Tools for Confident Parenting

Welcome to Tech and Teaching Tuesdays!

In this episode, we tackle the crucial question: How can you ensure your child’s online safety? Join me as I share technology tips tailored for toddlers to teens.

We kick things off by acknowledging the expansive digital landscape our kids are growing up in, moving beyond mere screen time management to establish early childhood boundaries. In middle childhood, the focus shifts to fostering critical thinking and online etiquette, utilizing the "Three W's" - Who, What, and Why - as a powerful tool for guiding your child's online behavior. Consider taping these questions as a friendly reminder inside the cover of their tablet or in their playroom.

Venturing into adolescence, a time of heightened emotions and rapid changes, we emphasize the significance of open communication and privacy awareness. Creating a digital contract with your teen, as discussed in Episode 12 and reiterated today, becomes a valuable tool outlining expectations, consequences, and fostering collaboration.
