Book excerpt: Parenting in a Tech World lets you know some tips on parenting in a tech world with confidence."Children are spending upwards of eight hours a day on connected devices and accounts, and much like we wouldn't send them out into the neighborhood on a bicycle without a helmet, we can't send them into the digital world without education and monitoring solutions to help keep them safer online," explained Jordan. "It only takes a matter of seconds, literal seconds for a child to encounter something that they can never unsee and kids as young as toddlers before they can walk and talk, just playing on the family iPad can experience this all the way up to very savvy teenagers."Jordan says one of the things parents can do is use the free parental controls that some of the devices come with, such as Apple Screen Time which helps filter the content your child encounters. She says to take it a step further, a parent can get Bark Technologies and receive alerts when your child has encountered things like cyber bullying, sexual content, online predators and mental health issues."Not only will bark send you a text or email with the problem and what happened," she said. "Bark will also give you best recommended next steps for how to address these really tough topics with your children."
