Let’s face it, we all spend a lot of our lives online. But do you really understand the effect it’s having on you and your family? More than that, do you know how to protect yourself and your kids? We’re talking today with someone who does…
Titania Jordan is a parenting in a tech world expert. And while she is an expert in this online tech space, ultimately, we’re just two moms who are living and raising kids in the midst of this craziness!

Content Analysis
Software like Bark helps analyze content on your kids devices and on their social accounts, regardless of where they are.
It’s also helpful to be a part of a community like the Parenting in a Tech World Facebook group. One of my favorite features is how the Bark team keeps us updated on language and terms kids are using these days. It may make me feel old, but it sure does keep me in the know!
