#064 How To Help Children Thrive in the Digital Age with Rob LoCascio

Join Giselle Shardlow, founder of Kids Yoga Stories, and Rob LoCascio, founder of KidCo.ai, as they explore the complicated relationship between children and technology. From Rob's journey building a multi-billion-dollar AI company to walking away and creating a safer AI device for children, this conversation dives into addiction, values, balance, creativity, and how we move from screen consumption to meaningful creation. Together, they unpack what it means to raise children in an AI-driven world and how parents and educators can foster healthier, more intentional relationships with technology.

Some highlights:
• Why tech can feel both loved and hated at the same time for parents
• The difference between consumption and creation in the digital world • How storytelling and character interaction can shift a child's relationship with devices
• Why family values matter more than screen-time rules alone
• The importance of helping children build self-awareness with AI and chatbots • Practical advice for parents and educators navigating balance in an AI world
