TikTok’s “Mom Friend” is going viral for sharing how to talk about online safety with kids. According to Pew Research Center, two thirds of parents say it’s harder to parent now than it was 20 years ago—and that it’s mainly because of the impact of smartphones and social media. Most parents don’t know how to properly regulate their kids online interactions and YPulse’s recent Tech / Device Usage report shows 76% of parents agree: “I worry about my children spending too much time looking at screens” While most don’t want to be over restrictive, they also don’t want to ignore what their child is running into on their phones. So, internet safety expert, mother, and the author of The Mom Friend Guide to Everyday Safety and Security Cathy Pedrayes is sharing her essential safety hacks on her TikTok. Her content encourages parents to have “an open dialogue about technology’s role in their daily lives,” and that typically starts with parents modeling good digital behavior themselves. (Mother.ly)
