Hey there, fellow podcast fans! Jed Doherty is back with another exciting episode of Reading With Your Kids, and this one's got something special in store. Jed kicks things off by inviting his incredibly talented intern Ruiling Tang to co-host an interview with the one & only Sue Atkins. Sue is a contributor to the BBC and the host of the "Navigating the Digital Jungle" podcast, which tackles all the big issues around screen time, cyberbullying, and online safety. She's passionate about helping parents navigate the digital world while still embracing technology. The conversation delves into the importance of setting boundaries around tech use, having open conversations with kids about their digital habits, and creating family rituals and traditions that bring everyone together. Sue shares some super helpful "digital jungle scripts" that parents can use to start those tricky talks. Next up, Jed welcomes back Ruth Mailee, author of the fantastic "Power of" book series. Ruth's latest, "The Power of Respect," is all about teaching kids the importance of respect, friendship, and self-care. As the owner of a daycare, Ruth has seen firsthand how crucial these character traits are for kids' development. Ruth shares the inspiring stories behind her books and how she's making a difference in the lives of the children in her care. She emphasizes the value of kindness, gratitude, and positivity - qualities that are so important, yet often overlooked in our fast-paced, digital world. Whether you're a parent, educator, or just someone who loves great kids' content, this episode is a must-listen. Be sure to check out all the amazing resources from Sue and Ruth. Happy listening!
