More schools and organizations are recognizing the need for digital wellbeing education, and that's where our course comes in. HOST: That sounds crucial.

Also, helping parents and educators find a balance between technology use and face-to-face interaction is an ongoing struggle. HOST: Interesting. Looking forward, what do you think the future holds for technology and parenting styles? GUEST: I believe we'll see more emphasis on responsible technology use in schools and homes. The goal is to help children develop healthy habits and critical thinking skills in the digital age. HOST: That's a positive outlook.
