As a business owner, you have loads of different technology to keep track of. If you are like many, you also have social media and personal technology in your smartphone, tablets, etc. to understand and manage. If you are a parent there is often another level of tech — your kid's. Angela Mondor asked me to join her on her show to talk about my experience being a parent of a teen and how we manage technology. During this episode we talk about:
- reasons to consider giving your young children access to technology and how to prepare them for that responsibility,
- managing the myriad of apps, sites, etc. your child may sign up for,
- how to allow your child to have independence, but ensure they are safe online,
- how to start conversations with your kids about the apps they use and get to know why they are using them and how important they are to your child; and
- online safety for your child and you.
