Kids and technology: Advice, ideas, inspiration

Hey, we get it. Parenting is equal parts maddening and pure, indescribable joy. And that’s usually all before 8 AM. Technology works the same way. It’s enhanced our world in ways we never thought possible.   But parenting in the digital age introduces challenges and questions we didn’t see coming. Like: “Dad, can I Snapchat just for the filters?” Or: “Mom, why are you following my best friend on Instagram?”Through a mix of independent research, best practices from parents and a partnership with the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI), we are excited to offer a variety of fresh thinking for families and technology. We’ll answer top questions, provide guidance, and show the creative and educational potential of tech.Parenting is a balancing act and we’re here to keep you moving forward. At least until bedtime.
