Has parenting really changed all that much since we're now raising our children in the Digital Age? Not according to G. Cory Warren, Corporate Communications Director at LifeLock. LifeLock partnered with the National Parent Teacher Association (P.T.A) to develop a free online tool for parents called The Smart Talk. According to Cory, "The role of parents today is not any different than the role of parents who came before. It's to be involved, to have conversations, and to show an interest in what your kids are interested in so you can help guide them along that path." If your child's interest includes sending and receiving content via digital devices, then parents might need updated guidance tools. Annie talks with Cory about The Smart Talk tool and how it works to get parents and kids together for a conversation about being responsible about the new technology. About G.

So much of a teen's life feels like a secret, and parents don't know how to access that secret. Not knowing can cause anxiety and lead to parents' routinely snooping through teens' computers and phones. But what about respectful boundaries? "Boundaries are hard at any age," says author, Susan Morris Shaffer. "I think (parents) really need to model good boundaries and show the kind of respect you expect from your teens. It's important that parents be clear and be intentional about what those boundaries are." Annie talks to Susan about respecting a teen's boundaries, making sure they respect ours, and finding healthy ways to connect as a family in this Digital Age. About Susan Shaffer (@TheSusanShaffer) Susan Morris Shaffer is the director of the Mid-Atlantic Equity Center, an educational non-profit organization that addresses educational equity and gender-related issues. For more than four decades, Shaffer is a nationally recognized expert for her transformational work in public schools.

More than 80 percent of tweens and teens are frequent social media users and that number hasn't yet peaked. Through their constant plugged-in time they immerse themselves in pop culture and in the nuances of what their peers think and feel about everything. While our kids are often much more savvy about the latest apps, they are woefully ignorant of the ramifications of their online behavior. Deborah Owen says the most important thing parents can drive home to kids is the fact that "everything they put out there is available for everyone to see. Even if they (kids) think it's not. We tell kids that but they still don't get it!" Annie talks with Debbie about the role of parents in guiding kids in the Digital Age. About Deborah C. Owen (@DeborahCOwen) Deborah C. Owen is a former public school educator and parenting expert/coach. As the school librarian at several high schools, a middle school, and an elementary school, she saw many kids who were hurting, confused, angry, and unmotivated. She made it her mission in the library to create new kinds of projects that would inspire teenagers, that would be relevant to their daily issues, and that would instill the love of learning in their hearts and minds.
