"Part of it is a bit of hope that you’ve got the right values and that you’ve had the right conversations. Growing up is about becoming more independent of your parents both online and offline. You’ve gotta do some groundwork in those, where my 11 year old is before he has a phone, there’ll be quite a few conversations around that, and across the journey too and I think if you’re able to have a relationship with your kids where you can have a dialogue, you will get enough of them to be able to shape them if not directly but indirectly."
