What do kids actually need before they get their first phone? Amanda chats with Dr Fiona Ghiglione, mindfulness researcher, psychology professor and founder of Mothering Girls, about preparing preteens (and their parents) for the digital world:

  • Australia's social media age laws and the '36 months' reframe,
  • what AI companions are and why parents need to know about them,
  • 'phubbing' and helping kids think critically about likes, followers and algorithms,
  • and how her Phone Savvy program uses simple conversation starters to get families learning together.
