We had a blast at our Digital Parenthood Summit in NYC! Thank you all for the overwhelming support. We've put together a couple of our favorite moments from the event in this video, but this is just the beginning. In the next few weeks, we’ll be adding even more content to the free community we built to equip families everywhere with the resources and support they need to feel empowered and confident in raising a connected generation. We’ll be adding tactical advice from parenting experts, child psychologists, and more, to help inspire parents. They'll offer their tips for different digital milestones, like how to find a balanced approach to monitoring your kids' social media, how to manage screen time, and how to keep your kids safe during online gaming. We think Lisa Damour, PhD said it best when she said “It’s not necessarily [about] being against technology, but being FOR the things that help kids thrive.” By emphasizing healthy behavior like lots of sleep and in-person time with friends, we can help our kids forge a balanced, positive relationship with technology. Parents, if you haven’t checked out www.digitalparenthood.com yet, what are you waiting for? #Technology #Cybersecurity #Parenting #DigitalParenthood

What major scams are missing from this list?

Last Friday, New York took a big step to protect our kids by passing a new law that would ban social media platforms from using recommendation algorithms it defines as addictive. This means that instead of being fed endless videos and posts designed to keep them glued to their screens, our kids will see content in the order it was posted. Aura just wrapped our inaugural Digital Parenthood Summit in NYC focused on helping parents raise the connected generation. It's clear that youth mental health issues are on the rise and a big part of the problem is driven by kids getting sucked into their devices more than ever. The SAFE for Kids Act is a major win for all of us trying to create a healthier online world for our children. By focusing on their well-being and setting some ground rules for social media, we're taking important steps to support our kids as they grow up in this digital age.
