No Filter: Creating a Tech-Ready Home in a Fast-Paced Digital World

Are you overwhelmed by today’s technology?

Do you feel “in the dark” when it comes to protecting the youth in your home?

It’s not possible to create a home that removes all risk of digital harm. It is possible to create one that is internet SAFER. After well over a thousand presentations to parents, grandparents, and caregivers just like you, and countless conversations, we’ve observed what it takes to have kids who use technology well. And we call it the Tech-Ready Home Framework. This presentation breaks down these 5 foundational ideas. Do you know what’s better than any parental control? Do you know why your router is the most important digital device in your home? Do you understand the toxic trio? Do you know why TikTok is so compelling to young brains? Get ready for a ton of practical tips, solutions, and ideas you can implement.

Our desired outcomes include:

• A deep understanding of why multiple layers of protection are necessary and how they work together.
• Awareness of the hardware and software tools that support your digital goals.
• How to use practical solutions so that your family is prepared, balanced, and protected online.
