WELCOME to Raising Connecting Kids the podcast that answers your questions about the connected world your kids are growing up in.

I get multiple questions a week. Sometimes through email or FB messages and sometimes face to face at an event or meeting. In this podcast, I’ll be answering the most common questions I’ve had and even, your questions. Email me at [email protected] to get your question read and answered on the Podcast.

Question 5: What are some good things about our technology?

Since we’re distancing ourselves, perhaps we should focus on some of the good things our kids can use technology for. Here are some ideas and safety tips for using Tech to your advantage, not your detriment.

Use Education Sites/Apps: Many are free right now.

Use them wisely, watch the amount of time spent and what they do with that time.

Messaging/Video Chat

  • Monitor messages.
  • Use the right video chat apps
  • Family-friendly gaming.

    Movies/shows
