Stop overcomplicating protecting kids online!
And donāt be of the 90% that skip the first critical stepā¦
Because there are only three parts to child online safety:
1. You
2. Your child
3. The technology
Yet most of us start backward.
You & your mindset matters THE most. Why?
š·When you embrace your healing journey, youāre healing your childā¦which makes them less susceptible to online harm.
š» When you make mistakes and own them (internally and externally) you teach your kids that:
- itās safe to āfailā
- itās safe to come to you for help
- itās safe to learn and grow
- itās safe to listen to your advice
My mom learned this the hard way when knocked on her door and informed her that Iām leaving to meet some older guy I met gaming online.
Because the only thing that stopped me from meeting up with him near my friendās house was the unexpected reaction she gave me.
Instead of being my āperfect mom who needed me to be perfect tooā she became my āexperienced friendā.
And that moment changed my life forever.
She didnāt do this on purpose though.
She did it because she felt like she 100% lost me and trying to control me through anger or restricting access wasnāt going to work.
So she turned inward and let go of the mask.
She let her walls down and talked to me like a friend would.
She focused on her inner child. What she would have wanted as teen.
She showed me that my safe space was with her. And I didnāt need to seek elsewhere to find it.
After experiencing this, I believe this is the only foundational way to keep kids safe online.
Whatās do you think?
If this resonated with you, let me know in the comments!
And feel free to repost so more parents can see. š
My mission is to make sure more kids donāt go through what my mother and I experienced.
Kids deserve a joyful online world free from grooming and predatory behavior!

One thing I LOVE to do is laugh.
Yes, I talk about protecting your kids online.

And we still made space for vulnerability and laughs.
Yes, I even opened up about my experiences being groomed on online gamesā¦.
And we still had a moment to laugh.
To me, joy and laughter are an integral part of protecting your kids online.
And I explain why in this interview. Hereās the full clip: https://youtu.be/pSuSwsexgXI?si=wRVu1...

šØ Roblox Explicit Content
Did you know that Roblox has explicit content?
No, not just the ācondo gamesā.
