Philosopher, L.A. Paul, talks about transformative experiences — moments in life that are so profound they change who we are at our very core. If there's one journey that epitomizes this concept, it's parenting. Becoming a parent not only changes our lives but also alters our perspectives, values, and understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This transformation is even more pronounced as we navigate the uncharted waters of digital parenting.

In my book, "Being Seen," I explore how parenting in the digital age is not just a role but a transformative journey. We're not just overseeing our children's screen time or managing their social media interactions; we're guiding them through a digital landscape that is constantly evolving, often unpredictable, and deeply influential. This journey challenges us to learn and adapt, to understand the digital language, and to engage in conversations that our parents never imagined having.

But here's the thing about transformative experiences, as Paul suggests: they're not just about change; they're about growth. As we learn to navigate digital parenting, we're not just protecting our children; we're also evolving as individuals. We're developing new skills, understanding, and perspectives that are crucial in today's world.

So, in today's episode, we'll dive into how we, as parents, can embrace this transformation. How do we equip ourselves and our children for a digital world that's constantly in flux? How do we ensure that this transformative journey enriches both our children's lives and our own?
