👄 REAL TALK - The social media ban; protection or control?

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of a social media ban on children and shares personal experiences with technology management.

Are you feeling nervy about social media impacts on your children?   In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re reflecting on the social media ban, now that it’s been in play for a few months.   We discuss what the ban is, is it actually working, stories from tweens, what more needs to be done and your thoughts on the ban from Insta polls we put up. We also delve into our own experiences with managing technology with our kids; screen time boundaries, space watches, Road Blocks, parental controls and more.   If you’re keen to hear all about how we as a society are navigating the beast that is technology for our kids, this one is for you.   A big thank you to our episode sponsors Lacevo and Baby Sensory and Toddler Sense.   Lacevo Instagram: @lacevoofficial Website: lacevo.com   Baby Sensory and Toddler Sense Instagram: @babysensorytoddlersenseaunz Website: babysensory.com.au   Instagram Follow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpod   Episode with Nick & Rozalia Russian https://open.spotify.com/episode/2tY9SNCh2kRFknlXAG77Br?si=3bf8b6b36c004ca3   Share We’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend!   Parenthood Podcast…
