“Great platform to help minimize screen time. Was informed by school district about this resource. Our family has a lot of YouTube and Roblox screen time that we need to reduce.”
“Our family struggles with educating the kids on what not to share and who not to trust on social media. This is such a great resource for parents!”
“I just checked it out briefly for the first time, but will definitely be spending more time exploring. I love the information on the dangerous hashtags, the common emojis, teen slang, etc.
“Social media is a scary thing these days and any help a parent can get to help keep their kids safe and be aware of what’s going on is great.”
“I learned more about apps I am unfamiliar with like Telegram and Signal. I also had not thought about the ability to use the Notes app or Google Docs to create disappearing messages. I look forward to increasing our conversations around social media usage to help our child stay safe online and be an ally for his friends and school.”
