Does your teen's digital life feel like a mystery?
You see them scrolling, gaming, messaging, but you don't really understand why it matters so much to them. You want to connect, but every conversation about screens turns into a battle.
You're not alone. Most Australian parents feel one step behind their child's digital world.
