I raised three digital kids (now 19, 23, and 25) who are out of the house and thriving on their own.
I earned a PhD in educational leadership with an educational technology focus which has allowed me to share my experience and expertise with teachers and parents all over the world.
I have read, and applied in my practice, the expertise and wisdom from over 100 authors–parenting experts, educational leaders, research scientists, and digital parent educators. (Yes, I love to read!)
I spent a lot of time with my kids (responsible for their academic, social, mental, and physical wellbeing) while homeschooling them for over a decade.
I’m also a licensed teacher, having taught grade school, middle school, high school, and college, who easily connects with kids of all ages. I build quick rapport with kids because I remember what it feels like to be a kid.
I’ve heard from hundreds of parents who want to raise their kids today without relying too much on technology. Many say their biggest struggle is trying to monitor what their kids watch online while regulating time spent on digital devices. (I wrote about it here.)
