Raising a Good Kid in a Digital World

So what does it really take to raise a good kid in the digital world?

After working in this space for over 10 years (and being a parent for 19), I realised a long time ago that there is no one thing. There is no magic bullet. There is no software we install, no rule that we enforce, no warning that we lecture and no app or site that we block.

But what it really comes back to is good old fashioned parenting and instilling in your kids the beliefs and values you hold dear, whilst doing what we can to understand the challenges they will face today.
