How To Shine Online with Josh Ochs [Podcast] | Trace Embry

Many would say that it is literally impossible for parents to keep up with all the latest technical innovations on the internet and hold down a full-time job. In fact, those same people would say that even attempting to keep up with it all actually IS a full-time job.

New apps, websites, devices –even new languages and other modes of communication and entertainment–are developing virtually every day. And, this includes ways of communicating and sending images that could negatively affect your child’s reputation and future success. Consequently, realizing that our kids have a lot more disposable time to explore and use these devices than we do (if we let them), we’ll need to come to grips with the significant changes and/or help needed to help them execute a wise digital protocol. We’ll be exploring what some of that might look like, next, as we discuss how to shine online with Josh Ochs.
