Sonia is joined by Yetty Williams on Raising the Next Gen for a conversation about raising digitally savvy kids. As a digital parenting coach and social entrepreneur who helps families navigate raising children in a highly connected world, Yetty is passionate about supporting parents to parent intentionally in the digital age.
Yetty introduces the idea of parents as the “first algorithm,” shaping how kids interpret the online world through values, conversation, and connection at home. The discussion explores screen time fears, healthy tech habits, building trust so kids feel safe coming back to parents, why quality connection matters more than constant control and so much more.
