Gen Digital: Helping kids thrive in an online world ~ with Dr Kristy Goodwin

Does it sometimes feel like technology is the bane of your parenting existence? Wasn’t life simpler when kids just played sport, climbed trees and created their own make-believe games? Probably, yes, but like it or not, today’s kids are living in a digital world, and somehow, we need to blend the best of days gone by with 21st technology. Digital wellbeing and productivity expert Dr Kristy Goodwin says parents can achieve more digital balance if they learn to be the pilot of the digital plane (not the passenger). She shares the latest neuroscience analysing screen time’s impact on young brains and explains how to achieve a more holistic balance without total bans and techno tantrums. If you could use some handy parental tools to navigate our always-on digital culture, this podcast has the answers.
