He provides one issue that we should be able to engage our children about and he gives us one redeeming quality that technology offers our kids. Show Notes: Instructive:  ·        Help your kids understand how social media algorithms work to populate their feeds. Help them understand the goals of the social media platform.   Protective:   ·        Protect your family’s privacy. Encourage the use of privacy settings on social media platforms.

Consider using a VPN to protect against malware infection. ·        Example: protonvpn.com   Engaging:   ·        Engage with your children about technology use. Have a discussion about using technology well. Learn to identify when technology is controlling us. Learn to detach from technology and connect with the real world.   Redeeming:   ·        Technology can be used well. When we are better able to redeem our time because of the convenience of technology, we are using it well. Connecting loved ones across distances offers wonderful advantages.
