Building a Village for Your Family | POF155

Parenting Our Future - Un podcast de Robbin McManne

My guest, Florence Ann Romano, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our discussion. In this episode, we are talking about keeping your kids safe when they are online, but also how to create safety within a family and community. Our discussion starts with us talking about when it's the right time to give your child a phone or device and how we need to do some work to make sure they stay safe online. Keeping your child safe requires communication and connection. Your kids also need connection with people outside your family so they have “trusted adults”. These are people they can come to and trust if for some reason, they can’t talk to their parents. Florence Ann has given the best tool to help parents set this up! The “Village Building Chart” will guide you though who to pick for your family’s village! Every family need this and I SO ENCOURAGE you to fill this out with your kids and talk about who they feel is safe and who makes sense for the whole family!For a copy of the “Village Building Chart”, you can download it from the Parent Toolbox. www.parent-toolbox.comAbout Florence Ann RomanoFlorence Ann Romano is a Village and Childcare Advocate, author, and philanthropist who has always had a special place in her heart for children.
