Something that I'm super passionate about is creating a safe space for my kids when it comes to using technology. This means that when they are using their devices they are safe, and talking to me is a safe judgment-free zone.
One thing I've come to realize is that this is true for ALL devices with kids of ALL AGES. It's never too early to start having these talks and implementing safe digital strategies. When we are observant, engaged, and informed we can help our kids to use technology well. I'd love to give you some information and few resources to help you help your kids use technology well.
