Radio Station Promotes Pornography: 3 Easy Ways to Take Action

It’s September. The sky is blue. The kids are back in school. And you're feeling fine. Until, on the way to work, you flip to the alternative rock station and hear them extolling the virtues of a platform you know perpetuates violence against women. Your heart sinks. You care about gender equality. You don’t want to stand idly by and let this happen. But what can you do? It’s your right to be heard Oftentimes, people feel their only recourse to offensive content is to change the station. That’s simply not true. One of the great privileges of living in…

Teens Screens Connection & Happiness

We’ve all heard it. We’ve all read it. “The smartphone has ruined this generation!”  Perhaps in your own moment of concern, you said, “Gosh, that’s terrible!” as you continued scrolling your news feed, not knowing what more you could do about it.  You’re not alone.  Just so you know, this is not your average post about social media. We won’t be discussing the perils of Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok or anything of that ilk. That's not to say these perils don’t exist, they do! It’s just not where we’re going today.

This summer I really wanted to do a book review for the blog. As you might imagine, I narrowed down my list of must-reads. I couldn’t wait to get started. In the end, however, I didn’t choose the book. It chose me. I’ll explain after my review. Read on. Conversations with My Kids: 30 Essential Family Discussions for the Digital Age is the latest gem from Educate Empower Kids (EEK). They’ve got a bunch of other great books and resources you should check out. But I think this is my favourite so far. It’s fun. It’s happy. And it’s something…

Help! My Kid is Sneaking Around the Internet Behind My Back

There are internet rules, parental controls, wifi filters, and screen limits firmly in place. You’ve got everything set according to plan—only, your kid’s got a different plan. What we think of as today’s essential safety measures might actually doing very little to keep maturing kids from engaging in risky online behaviour. If motivated, kids will find a workaround.

But, before we jump to the conclusion that every tech-savvy kid is lurking in the deepest depths of the dark web,…

Why Everyone Should be Praising the UK’s Decision to Block Porn

Why Everyone Should be Praising the UK’s Decision to Block Porn

The UK promises to roll out its online age verification policy in the coming weeks. So, instead of porn being the default setting for every internet-connected device, consumers will now need to provide identification proving they're over 18. This is brilliant. And a huge victory for the protection of children against sexually exploitative material. But yup, you guessed it! Not everyone is celebrating. This week Debra Soh, columnist for The Globe and Mail, wrote a piece touting all the reasons she believes age verification is a bad idea. It’s an opinion article for sure. Still, one would think standing behind…
