For a system designed to share information, technology has a remarkably poor record of highlighting the ways in which it might be failing us... and our kids. Itself a system that draws our attention away from it too.
Real Talk offers sessions, mostly in the workplace but can see its value in the home, schools and clubs too.

For better screen and all-round health, we can bridge some generational knowledge gaps.
Luckily, we have the tools to do that now.

"We give kids tech, but we don't give them the skills to use it!
My kids are older now and I wish I'd known a few key points before we, as a family strayed into the online world. That's why this session is good for adults of kids of any age but really good if you can start considering it when they're young.
It's harder to impose a boundary that's already been broken.
What we want are kids who can separate the real from the fake and protect their self esteem in the process."
