We all want what’s best for our kids. We want to make sure that they’re getting access to the best in life, learning and progressing every day, to slowly grow into a competent and well rounded human being. At the same time, we want to protect them. We want to make sure that they’re safe and they don’t see anything that is age-inappropriate or could upset or scare them. This is all part and parcel of good parenting.
This is also, however, why so many of us struggle when it comes to managing our child’s use of the internet.
