Episode #145. Struggling with children's screentime, social media, and devices? Parents we want to help you with tech age skills. Sam Jockel, CEO and Founder of Parent TV.

Are you struggling with your children screentime, messaging apps and devices? You are not alone, there is help, and expertise to help you navigate parenting in the tech age.  Enter Parent TV.I recently heard a rather striking story from a teacher who was engaging her primary school students in a discussion about ‘what they would like to be when they grow up?’, she received an unexpected response from one of the children. She raised her hand and replied, 'An iPhone.' 'Why do you want to become an iPhone?' ‘Mum and Dad love their iPhone.' Fortunately, platforms like ParentTV are here to bridge the gap between what parents know and what they need to know. With a wide range of expert-led content on subjects ranging from cyberbullying to screen time management. ParentTV's mission is its emphasis on "getting on the kids' team." Listen to Sam Jockel on episode #145 of the Thriving Minds podcast who discusses the most important solution is your ATTENTION. She talks about how tech is the smoking and asbestos of 2023. ParentTV serves as a centralized resource for parents who want to become proficient in raising children in the tech age. No brands or advertising that will contaminate the knowledge to help parents. We encourage all parents to take advantage of these wonderful resources. Let's work together to ensure that our children are not just surviving but thriving in the digital world. While it's easy to assume that today's digital-native children are inherently savvy and resilient in navigating the complexities of technology, research and experience tell a different story. In this eye-opening episode, we explore the surprising risks and challenges that children face in our hyper-connected world.  As a parent, you may find yourself questioning, "Who's really looking after my children in this tech age?" The message and boundaries have become blurred between home and school. Parents are working and have become isolated from the community, and this is why we need an approach in the tech age. To navigate this brave new world, upskilling has emerged as an essential part of modern parenting. Gone are the days when a parent could afford to be uninformed about the latest trends in technology, social media platforms, or online safety protocols. Understanding the nuances of the digital age is vital for safeguarding children's well-being, fostering positive development, and equipping them with the life skills they'll need in a 21st-century landscape. Get involved, stay informed, and become the tech-savvy parent your kids need you to be. Sam Jockel Founder at ParentTV, Former EIR at UQ, Author, Speaker, Influencer at School Mum and ALDI Mum. #Upskilling #ParentingInTheTechAge #ParentTV #ThrivingMinds #DigitalLiteracy #ChildDevelopmentSupport the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com
