The dominant feeling I hear from parents (and myself!) in relation to technology and their children is this - fear.

We are afraid of many things that might happen to our children in the wake of the world's technological changes. And these concerns are real, and worth taking action about. So how do we get our fear out of the way so that we can move confidently into the future?

Join us for this 10 minute episode where we talk about just that!
