A #makeITsafePH campaign: Parenting in the Digital Age

Written by louiseinthehouse on July 25, 2018

Being a parent back in the day was totally different and more complicated compared to being one today. Thus, there are some things that are not applicable to my children even if age-old tales tell me that they were effective parenting techniques in the past. For example, allowing kids to speak out their mind freely was not a common practice before. In my time, we practiced maximum restraint in speaking with elders.

Today, with the onset of digital revolution, responsible parenthood is indeed crucial. Whether we like it or […]
