Stay Connected...Thank you for your support !

On today's episode we are talking to the CEO and founder of Protect Young Eyes (PYE), Chris McKenna.   As a father of four,  he started PYE, because although many people were talking about internet safety, few were doing anything about it.  Protect Young Eyes mission is to show families, schools, and churches  how to create safer digital spaces.   Not only do they present at schools and churches, they have an app called Protect: Internet Safety.  This app is for you and your children to learn about digital safety in bite-sized videos and content that will increase your internet competence.

As Chris mentions in our conversation, he believes that technology will find our children no matter how much we shield or protect them.  So it is our job as parents to better equip ourselves and them to handle themselves when faced with these technologies.  However, much of that does not even have to do with the technology itself...it has to do with being a soft place to land for our children when they come upon the things we hope they don't.   Our children, especially the adolescents, are tuned for social sensitivity.   They don't want to be left out, they don't want to be awkward, so us as "analog" parents need to remember how it felt as kids and translate those feelings into the digital world.  Many of us would be in the same position as our children if the digital world existed when we grew up.   The key to making things easier is the ability to translate from an analog world to a digital world.   

We need to understand the thought process of our children so we can inform them of dangers they will face.   Just because you don't allow it in your home, does not mean your child will not encounter it anyway.  You need to teach them about things as if you said yes, so they are aware.   As mom's ourselves, we are thrilled to chat with Chris and his venture in saving kids through technology.
