“What I love about this book is that it helps start what parents already know are essential conversations. Parents want to talk to their children about their use of technology, they want their children to be safe online, but they just don’t always know where to start. It can be especially difficult for parents who don’t have the knowledge around the tech itself or the language. And it doesn’t help that even for those who are more connected with technology that it's ever evolving, you can get to grip with one area and then before you know it a new trend has taken off! All of these factors create barriers, and this book helps to break these down with the essential knowledge, conversation starters and general communication tips to help parents have informative, purposeful and impactful conversations with their children about their use of technology.  A must-read for any parent.”
