About the Resource

The reality is that while technology has advanced so quickly, digital parenting skills have not kept up to pace. It may not be our fault but it is definitely a problem.  We all want to be good parents and raise our children well but there is always so much information to process that it becomes difficult to keep up with it. Our children are surrounded by technology on a daily basis. They are able to switch between devices, applications and social media at a phenomenal rate without even realising what they are doing. For them digital life is just life. My book on digital parenting is written with the aim to help fellow mums and dad who wish to find out more what it means to become a digital parent, without getting to side tracked by it all.
