How to Keep Kids Safe Online - 137

I speak frequently about how to keep kids safe online. I've found two camps of parenting styles when it comes to technology and internet usage. On one side, some parents decide to give no access at all to technology. On the other side, they allow their kids near unrestricted access.   If you've been around the Equipped To Be Podcast for very long, you know that I'm not a proponent of restricting all access to technology and the internet. At the same time, I've found that giving too much access without much monitoring and deep conversations with your kids can also backfire. I believe that the best middle-ground approach to tech usage is to use parental controls AND to have close relationships with your kids.   What does this look like in practice? How do you keep your kids safe online? Listen to this episode for ideas for building relationships AND simple practices for safe tech usage.
