Building Resilient Kids

Digital parenting: Are our kids safe online?

Not too long ago, keeping our children safe meant watching out for traffic, avoiding strangers and making sure everyone got home before dark. But today’s parenting challenges are more complex.   As digital devices consume our children’s attention, families are navigating unprecedented challenges – ones that revolve around online safety and digital habits.   In this episode, we explore how the digital age has transformed parenting. What does “safe” mean when your child can access the entire internet from their pocket or bedroom? How do you protect your child from cyberbullying, misinformation and online predators without losing connection or trust?  Seven News Presenter, Sarah Greenhalgh will be joined by Kristen and Emily to share practical strategies on how to set healthy boundaries, build trust and teach your children to navigate the digital world safely.  This podcast is brought to you by the Children’s Hospital Foundation in Queensland.  Children’s Hospital Foundation is the proud philanthropic arm of Queensland Children’s Hospital and Children’s Health Queensland across the state. With your support, we fund cutting-edge research, vital equipment and on the ground support for sick and injured kids throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales.  Learn more about how you can make a difference by following us on our Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn at @childrensorgau or visiting our website at childrens.org.au [http://childrens.org.au/].     Produced by The Podcast Boss [https://thepodcastboss.com/]
