It was such a pleasure working with you! I’m grateful there’s another resource out in the world to help parents and caregivers navigate raising a child in the digital age.
Brand new resource just launched! I worked with @UNICEF to help parents and guardians know how to talk to their child about cyberbullying. Of course, I'm here to provide further input and advice for your specific online platform, school, family, or community situation - just DM me. lnkd.in/enRhw3XE
