Parenting was always tough work. But then you add technology into the mix and it become a bit more challenging. The reality is that we live in a digital world and technology encompasses so much of our daily lives.
So how do adults manage technology for themselves AND parent? This week I welcome back Matt McKee to the podcast. I first met Matt through the reThink Group but he has since moved on towards work as an Entrepreneur helping parents navigate this digital world we are living him. He has authored books about this topic and has a great Facebook Group called Parenting in a Tech World.
Parents need help understanding all that their tweens and teenagers are getting into online and how we can protect them. Matt has some great encouragement today.
