Chukwu Emeka is a lawyer and university instructor who joins us from Lagos Nigeria. He is passionate about all things digital safety that pertain to children rights, protecting children online and shares the importance of why having a solid parent-child relationship goes a long way in empowering kids in navigating the digital sphere. He shared tips on what to look out for that make kids low lying fruit in the minds of online groomers and how as parents we can safeguard from this.
Some of my takeaways from this conversation:
A prepared child is less of a target : have those difficult conversations and have them early.
Child predators capitalize on children's curiosity, innocence and desire to please parents
As a parent, connect, connect connect before you disconnect
