Synopsis: Join us for a five-part limited-edition podcast series this November by The Straits Times where we discuss the challenges of raising kids in a world that’s always plugged in.

For many children and teens, there is little distinction between the online and offline world.

Many parents worry that screens are getting in the way of their relationship with their children.

But instead of pulling our children away from their digital worlds, should parents step into them, and journey with our children?

Having done research on digital well-being and online harms, and as the mother of a teenage boy, she recommends gaming with your children.
