112: A Curious and Collaborative Approach to Technology with Kids w/ Carrie Rogers-Whitehead

Two things for you this week: 1.) I'll be going live on Friday at 12:30 on IG with my friends, Hannah & Kelty of Upbringing, to chat about sibling issues, especially helping prep kiddos for a new little one. **Parents of kiddos under 2 or those that are expecting, be sure to read the PS ​ 2.) Details on the podcast episode this week are below! We will be doing a giveaway on the featured book, so be sure you're following me on IG (@laurafroyenphd) for updates! ​ As a result of the pandemic, the use of technology has risen and changed the way we socialize and interact with each other, for better or for worse. And although we are slowly getting back to normal, there is no denying that our use of online technology will continue. I have been hearing from a lot of you that as you move back into "regular" life you're wondering how to set yourselves and your children up for success when it comes to tech. ​ And so for this week's episode, we'll talk about screen time, internet safety, and raising digitally literate kids in a way that feels safe and balanced for your family in a tech-heavy environment. To help me in this conversation, I brought in an expert and the author of The 3 Ms of Fearless Digital Parenting, Carrie Rogers-Whitehead. She is the founder of Digital Respons-Ability, a mission-based company that works with educators, parents, and students to teach digital citizenship.
