The resilience part of digital parenting (& kids’ safety)

March 11, 2017 By Anne 2 Comments

Shadow of a strong, confident girl

Parents concerned about the digital part of parenting deserve to know that they are not starting from scratch when their kids start using phones, tablets and other connected devices – even if they haven't had conversations about digital safety yet. Far from it.

Surgeon general’s advisory: Let’s take stock

June 16, 2023 By Anne 7 Comments

US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy advises that "we are experiencing a youth mental health crisis." Based on the data, there's no question about that. Where there is a question is whether tech and media are the cause.
