Parenting in the Digital Age may be one of the hardest tasks we are up against with raising our children. "We have children with children's brains, children's development and we put them inside a space that was made for adults and then we get upset when they act like children. "...These spaces were not designed for them in the first place, they are by nature exploitative. They are not protective. We have to hunt for protection. And that's the part that's so difficult and maddening. I want us to embrace what can be so good about technology, but never trust it for a minute.
