In this episode Emma and our guests discuss what we can do to help keep our children safe online, whilst taking a look at how our own habits might influence children’s relationships with their devices. Rest assured that the overall consensus isn’t that technology is the devil! It is a space for valuable and useful information, and endless creativity and critical thinking. That being said, it is so important to understand the difference between software and hardware, and to make sure you’re a part of your children’s technology journey. We hope you find this conversation valuable.
