Ep 8 - Kids and technology

Technology causes both parents and children enormous stress. It moves so fast, there's so much information and content available 24 hours a day and, in most cases, the kids know more about using technology than their parents! It also has a massive impact on the social development of children, especially those who develop online relationships at the expense of friendships at school and their every day, 'offline' world. Online bullying and predatory behaviour are also major concerns, while addiction to technology is also a growing problem seen by Tim Dansie in his psychology practice. Tim talks about the challenge of managing technology for our children, so they can reap the benefits while minimising the risks. About Tim Dansie: Tim is a registered Teacher and Psychologist.
