Digital Freedom

From Australia's favourite parenting author and top online safety expert, a book to help parents manage screen use at home.

When it comes to kids and teens on screens, parents and educators face a genuine contradiction. Screen use is both an essential part of modern life and a leading cause of harm and mental illness. How can we protect our young people while giving them the tools to succeed?

In this book, Maggie Dent and Kirra Pendergast present no-nonsense advice for parents on issues such as:

- When and how to give your kids a smart phone?
- How do algorithms, digital footprints and AI really work?
- How can families use social media without sacrificing privacy and safety?
- How can you protect your kids and teens from the darker influences of the internet?
- What do you do if your child is being bullied or exploited online?
- How can you reduce family tension around screen use?

Digital Freedom cuts through the confusion and delivers practical tools and expert advice to help parents manage their family's device use and rediscover moments of screen-free connection and creativity.
