Technology is brilliant, helpful and powerful, but it can also be a bit scary when it comes to our kids getting devices for the first time. For parents who grew up in a time where Siri or TikTok didn’t even exist, how do we acclimate to tech being an ever-present part of our kids' lives, and how do we ease them into it so that they have a healthy relationship with it?
As parents, we can’t ignore where the world is right now, but we can still set boundaries so that our children use tech when they are emotionally ready for it.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Vice President of Public Relations & Communications at Gabb Wireless, Anne Marie McDonald. She talks about tech, when our kids should have it, and the impact it can have on their lives.
Tech isn’t going away, and we want to embrace it and teach our kids how to use it in a healthy way so they become healthy adults that are balanced. -Anne Marie McDonald
