Scrolling 2 Death

Roblox Isn’t a Rite of Passage: Rethinking Online Competence (with Titania Jordan)


Listen Later

Parents everywhere are wrestling with the same impossible question: How do you protect your kids from online harm without raising them in a bubble?


In this episode, Nicki is joined by Titania Jordan, CMO of Bark Technologies, to take on one of the most common—and most misunderstood—parenting mindsets: “We supervise. We talk about safety. We don’t want our kids to be naïve… so we let them use these platforms.”


We read real parent comments about giving kids access to Roblox, YouTube, phones, and social media despite knowing the risks. Together, we break down what this approach gets right—and where it unintentionally opens the door to serious online dangers.


This episode is for every parent trying to thread the needle between keeping kids safe and letting them live in the world.You are not powerless. You don’t have to choose between protection and exposure—you can do both, intentionally.


The goal isn’t perfection.
The goal is raising kids who can navigate the digital world—
not be consumed by it.
