In this episode, we are going to dive in deep and discuss screen time, cyber bullying, and Snapchat and what to do to help your child and student navigate this digital world. This interview with Titania Jordan and Matt McKee of Bark Technologies is full of practical parenting advice like, “How do you know when your child is ready for a cell phone?”, “How do I know what social media apps are ok and when?”, “What do I need to be talking to my child about when it comes to technology to keep them safe and healthy?”. We will talk about important practices and safeguards you’ll want to have in place as well as a link to a technology contract for you and your student.

You will definitely want to order their new book, Parenting in a Tech World, A Handbook for Raising Kids in the Digital Age. https://www.parenting.tech/
