Technology is changing faster than most parents can keep up, and our children are growing up in a world unlike anything previous generations experienced.
In this powerful episode of Whinypaluza, Rebecca Greene welcomes Teodora Pavkovic, Director of Wellbeing and Parent Advocacy at Qustodio, for an honest conversation about raising children in today's digital world.
Together they explore the realities of screen time, social media, gaming, online bullying, sleep disruption, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence in children's lives.

If you've ever wondered whether your child is spending too much time online, how to respond to cyberbullying, or why AI is becoming a trusted companion for many teenagers, this conversation will leave you informed, encouraged, and better prepared.
In this episode you'll learn:
