My guest today on Digital Families is Dr Kristy Goodwin who is a Digital Wellbeing and Productivity Speaker, Author & Researcher.
On todays podcast Kristy and I talk about managing screen time for the whole family. We talk about getting distracted by technology and how it impacts our wellbeing.
Younger children are now starting social media in primary school. How can parents deal with peer group pressure, the fear of their child missing out? What is wrong with having your 10 year old on TikTok or Instagram anyway?
If you have younger children how are you coping with digital technology and choosing appropriate apps and experiences for your younger children, Kristy gives us some tips.
