Kids today are growing up online — often faster than parents feel ready for. Between social media, gaming, messaging apps, and AI tools many caregivers are left wondering:
How much is too much?
What’s actually safe?
How do I protect my child without constant conflict or fear?
Digital Safety 101 workshop is a live, supportive online workshop designed to help parents navigate the digital world with confidence, clarity and connection – not rigid rules or tech overwhelm.
