As we’re moving closer to summer break, it’s the perfect time to look at your kids’ screen use, gaming habits and the apps they’re using. Chances are that your kids will be spending more time on screens when they’re off for the summer, than in any other time of the year.
In this episode, I’m talking to Titania Jordan who’s the CMO and Chief Parent officer of the online safety company, Bark Technologies. I’ve been a fan of hers for a while and follow her posts on Instagram. She shares the most current and relevant updates to help you keep your kids safe online. We talk about having a family tech contract when you give your kids their first phone or device (see contract sample below).
Titania talks about what our kids are facing online, and how they’re using technology. Much of this, we simply don’t know about. The more we know, the more we can protect our kids which is why we’re talking about this in a way that helps you feel empowered, not overwhelmed!
Some of the stats she shared are as follows. Look for the full list below.
35.7% of tweens and 64.3% of teens were involved in a self-harm/suicidal situation.
62.4% of tweens and 82.2% of teens encountered nudity or content of a sexual nature.
