“Parenting in a Digital World is filled with practical tips that help us parents navigate this technological path our kids are walking (or running!). As a mum to two young children, it’s helped me to see where we’re going so that I can keep that big picture in my mind before we encounter the online world together. The strategies Martine shares are great for parenting in general, and I’ll be reading the book again and again over the coming years to remind myself of these”

And another great review from Nicole of Planning with Kids :
I often say to other parents that I think managing technology with kids is one of the biggest challenges I face personally as a parent. I really enjoyed reading Parenting in a Digital World: Stop fighting, start connecting. It doesn’t lecture you or set strict rules about what you should be doing, but peels the layers back to the fundamentals of parenting:
- Supporting and protecting your child
- Building and maintaining a positive relationship with your child base
