As parents, navigating the online world with our kids can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone! In this episode, we’re thrilled to chat with award-winning internet safety expert Fareedah Shaheed, founder of SAKUVA and the Protect Kids Online membership. Fareedah introduces us to her powerful SAFE method, which focuses on creating Safe spaces, Accountability, Fun, and Empathy to protect our kids while fostering trust and connection.

Fareedah shares her deeply personal story of facing online dangers as a teenager, and let me tell you, it’s a perspective every parent needs to hear. Spoiler alert: locking down devices isn’t the magic solution we might think it is. Instead, Fareedah shows us how to use empathy and connection to build stronger relationships with our kids while teaching them to navigate the online world safely and confidently.

Whether your child is into Roblox, TikTok, or online gaming, you’ll leave this episode armed with practical tips to create a supportive and safe environment for your kids online. This isn’t about fear—it’s about empowering you to be your child’s go-to person when challenges arise. Trust me, this conversation is a must-listen for every parent who wants to stay connected in today’s digital age.
