EP260: Becoming a "Screenwise" Parent with Devorah Heitner

With social media and constant connection, the boundaries of privacy for children are stretched thin. On today’s episode, author Devorah Heitner joins me to discuss how we can help our children navigate growing up in a world where nearly every moment of their lives can be shared and compared. Devorah is a Ph.D. who studied media, technology, and society at Northwestern University. She works with communities, schools, and companies to raise tech-savvy children. She is the author of the best-selling book, Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive and Survive in Their Digital World, and is joining the show to offer practical advice to parents on how to help tweens and teens navigate boundaries, identity, privacy, and reputation in their digital world!-------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityBook: The Nature Fix by Florence WilliamsBook: Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital WorldCan’t Stop Talking About: Trusted HousesitterConnect with Devorah:Sign up for Devorah's free 7-day Tech Reset here.Pre-order Growing Up in Public here.Website | Twitter | Instagram | SubstackShow Notes for Episode 260: Becoming a Screen-Wise ParentEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.
