Episode notes
Your Pre-Internet Perspective Matters
- Parents who experienced life before social tech hold a unique perspective to share with digital-native kids.
- Capturing that bridge perspective in guidance helps future generations who won't know life before the internet.
Lead With Curious Questions
- Approach conversations about mental health and technology with curiosity and open questions.
- Ask to see apps or watch games so you learn the tech and build trust with your child.
Invite Them To Teach You
- Invite teenagers to 'teach up' and show you their apps to build connection.
- Use that time as quality, teachable bonding while you learn the platforms together.
