Many say boredom is good for kids’ creativity, but gone are the long summer days where kids find things to do by riding bikes, exploring creeks, and running around the neighborhood til dinner. Today’s boredom is more often filled indoors with ever-present online content. So how do we keep our middle schoolers safe online this summer, when many have little oversight and maximum down time? In this episode, Jason Zeigler of AdaptShield discusses how parents can target the risks their family is most vulnerable to online so families can enjoy summer without constant monitoring.
