  • Summary

  • Alex (the husband!) and I are getting real about the rollercoaster of raising kids in a world full of online games, social media, and YouTube.
    We know the internet isn’t going anywhere, so instead of banning it all, we talk about finding that balance between letting our kids enjoy the digital world and keeping them safe.
    We did make the decision to remove YouTube from our home, and we share why we chose to do it. But our kids do have access to computer games, Minecraft, Roblox, and so on.
    Alex - who’s a big-time gamer - talks about setting smart boundaries for our kids on things like YouTube Kids and online games. His perspective as a gamer really adds a fresh angle, and he’s seriously got some solid tips.
    Oh, and there's a wild story from Alex about how our son decided to jump off the roof (yes, you read that right!). It was a reminder of why staying aware and tuned in is so important, no matter what your kids are up to.
    We also tackle the tougher topic of online dangers, like predators, and how to talk to kids about staying safe. You absolutely NEED to give your kids the knowledge, without scaring them.
    Tune in for our take on raising tech-savvy kids safely—without saying “no” to everything fun.
