Has your child been contacted and groomed online? Do you know what that is? I didn't and it is frightening to realize my kids at some point have been contacted by someone attempting to groom them.
.
I think of it like a stranger trying to give a child candy or a gift of some kind to coerce them to trust them and go with them, except on a global and much more methodical and dangerous level.
.
It is even more frightening to think we are inviting these strangers into our homes and even into our kids' bedrooms!! Yikes!!
.

Simplify your life in the land of raising kids in this digital world by grabbing the newest version of the dumb smart phone! I have to shout this from the rooftops because this IS the answer so many of us need or needed when giving our kids a phone. Putting a smart phone in the hands of our children comes with so many risks, and the influences of that one decision, can have lifelong and profound effects on our children.
.
This phone is like putting training wheels on a bike, or floaties on our child when learning to swim, or having them take driver's ed before letting them drive a car. We don't put them in those risky situations without some guidance, so it is time we wake up to the many risks a smart phone can bring, if given too young or without safeguards and guidance.

It takes a village to raise a child, and with our interconnected digital age, it is nearly impossible to keep them safe without THIS!! Are you using it? If not, you NEED to get connected to this app and make this app a part of your village TODAY!!! It monitors across all devices and computers, doesn't just monitor from home wifi, and basically gives you peace of mind and the ability to sleep knowing THIS is working in your behalf 24/7!!
This episode does a deeper dive into many of the features Bark has, and how to set it up. Whether you have given your kid the fanciest iphone or android smart phone, it can help you! Of course nothing is full proof in the hands of a determined child, but THIS will help tremendously in this wild ride of raising kids in the digital age!

Does monitoring push them away or is it like giving them floaties when we teach them to swim? The BIG mom debate! This IS the one thing I could have understood better before I gave my kids a phone. I have talked about this in other episodes but just can't emphasize it enough.

In this episode I talk about what phone or device to give your kid when you are wanting to give them their first phone, they're asking about getting their first phone, or you need some way to keep in touch with them when they are away from you.
Since kids are getting phones at younger & younger ages, it is so so so important to understand that the smart phone is likely not the best thing to give from day one.
Listen in for the five most common options, three of which I WISH I had when my kids were at a point of getting their first phone! Be THAT Mom!

Today we chat about the many perks and opportunities opened up by the digital world. Listen in to learn more about these six options that you can start doing today!!
....
As mentioned in the episode:
- Earn more about creating your own podcast HERE or go to https://bit.ly/bethatmompodcastpro
- Websites mentioned to sell freelance services include Fiverr (use THIS LINK to get $$$ off any orders you place) and Upwork.com.
- For online courses: You Tube, thinkific.com, teachable.com, or what I use is kajabi.com(use this link for a 30 day free trial of Kajabi)
- For network marketing type opportunities, a few of my favorite brands that include an income opportunity such as this include Beauty Counter (for clean makeup), Pampered Chef (for quality cookware), and Team Beachbody (for fitness/nutrition tools and a community for support.

Am I right or am I right? Yes!)
Like I mentioned in relation to the Network Marketing opportunities, I have found more high quality products and referrals I can trust by connecting with friends that love these products, and it feels good to support friends, family, and small businesses.

Eeeeek! Ever wonder how your kid shows up in the classroom? Are they confident and focused, or are they distracted and anxious? Do they give up their phone easily, as they are used to those boundaries at home, or panic if the phone is not in their immediate possession.
.
I'm afraid my kids were likely the latter, until recently, as I had no clue where or how to set boundaries, or that it even mattered (until it was crazy evident that it did)!.
.
Tune in to this episode for an interview with my good friend Maggie Toney, who is a mom of five, and a teacher of teens, where she shares her unique perspective from the vantage point as a mom to her kiddos ranging in age from six to twenty three, and her observations of how the boundaries and precedent around these things at home is mirrored in the classroom.
.
Oh and psssttt... if you are THAT mom that is like... yikesssss... I had no idea! Don't worry! That is why we are having this convo and why I am here to help you #beTHATMom!

As life in 2020 keeps throwing us roadblocks and challenges, I hope that you are safe and well and finding your way in the best way possible in all of this. Please listen in for a few thoughts and reflections from me on how the unthinkable and less than ideal situations can be viewed as an obstacle or a stepping stone. "Being human is not hard because you're doing it wrong, it's hard because you're doing it right." --Glennon Doyle, Untamed
For the quote I mention at the end, you can find the book Untamed, by Glennon Doyle, on Amazon HERE! I highly recommend it! Grab it to listen to it on Audible HERE!
P.S. I want to hear from you!
