Kids spend a ton of time online, and it's not always good for them. Are parents helping or hurting the situation?
A message from our sponsor
Hey there,
The rise of smartphones & digital technology has been hugely consequential for parents and families around the world.
Conversations that may have not been necessary to have with kids in the past are now vital. Content like pornography, which used to be difficult to find, is now completely free and easily accessible by anyone, any time, anywhere. Whether they are looking for it or not, kids can easily stumble across inappropriate content online.
Want expert tips for keeping your family safe online? Check out our free digital parenting e-book.
The internet is a chaotic world of perspectives and content that often aren’t appropriate for kids or aligned with their families’ values. For parents today, keeping explicit content off their children’s screens has become a full-time job, even when the kids are not actively seeking it.
Unfortunately, inappropriate content isn't limited to the web. Commonly used apps like Twitter, Reddit, Discord, Fortnite, and Roblox do very little to prevent nudity and violent videos or images from being posted. Often, these apps accidentally expose our kids to unhealthy content without their consent or ours.
So…
How are intentional parents supposed to keep up with the constantly evolving technology that is a central part of our kids' lives?
The answer…?
YOU CAN’T.
You need a partner. You can’t do this alone!
