The Real Dangers of Giving Our Kids Devices and Online Access with guest, IT and Online Safety Expert James Donnan and host Jennie

We all live on devices. Our banking, social connection, shopping, careers, work etc are mostly done online. We are now in an age where children are ALSO on devices. Increasingly, parents are allowing their kids access to the same internet, apps and games that we, as adults, have access to. This is dangerous and having a negative impact on our children's emotional, sexual and psychological development. In the UK, 44% of kids by the age of 9 have a phone. That number rises to 91% of kids by the age of 11 (according to BBC study). I want to know WHY a child needs a phone with internet access? According to another recent study, 90% of kids between the ages of 8-16 have and will see online porn. Since lockdown, there has been a 70% increase in kids online bullying and spreading hate speech. The very real dangers and negative outcomes of providing our children with phones, ipads and online access are showing, not just in the statistics, but in our kids. And many of us aren't taking this seriously enough. With the help of IT expert, James Donnan, host Jennie and James have a raw conversation about the very real dangers of kids having unmonitored and unrestricted access through devices, apps and games.
