Episode 22: World Wide Parent with Laura Corwin Burkhart - a podcast by Gameday Media Enterprises

Today, Megan talks with Laura Corwin Burkhart of World Wide Parenting. As Laura's kids were starting to engage more on electronic devices, she noticed a lack of guidance on best practices for handling this aspect of parenting, so she made her own! She advocates teaching your children to handle this responsibility at a younger age, when their mistakes are still small and they may be more receptive to your guidance. One piece of advice she's given to her kids that everyone could heed is not to do or say anything on a device that you wouldn't want a roomful of your peers and their parents to read! She has created a tool for soliciting feedback from your children's peer group to help other parents become familiar with what other families limits are around technology and help drive the conversation forward. Laura is offering 10% off her service to completely install and set up the limits and controls you need on all your devices by mentioning the Family Brain podcast.
