Growing Up With Tech

Lowell Brown

As a parent and a bit of a tech geek myself, I’ve instilled an interest in different technology with my kids as they have grown up. From seeing how they used an iPad as a toddler, to teaching them about online safety with social media and online gaming it’s been interesting to see how kids grow up with tech. There are so many different ways technology can have an impact on a child’s life - both good and bad. Join me as we talk about different issues related to technology and kids. As a parent, we have a role in guiding how our kids use technology and we’ll cover different topics so that you, as a parent, are better equipped to make your own decisions. We’ll also have discussions about issues that our children face, as they grow up in this digital age, so that they can experience, learn, become creative and possibly find their own passion through a hobby or future career. Topics May Include Online Safety, Social Media, Learning With Tech, Tech In The Home, Product Reviews, Psychology Of Technology, Inspiring “Good” With Tech & Dealing With The “Bad” Impacts Of Tech Time.

    Financial Literacy For Kids With Gaurav Kapoor from Mydoh

    Teaching kids about banking, finances, savings and more isn't easy. Even the values of an allowance and earning money by doing chores can be challenging. All that is about to get easier with a new app called Mydoh. In this episode, I interview the founder of the app, Gaurav Kapoor. We discuss how this app works, how this digital wallet is different from a traditional bank account, how it easily teaches kids about spending, saving and earning money and a whole lot more. If you have ever found it challenging to explain to your kids how bank cards, credit cards and interest charges work to your kids, or if you have ever found it challenging to encourage your kids to become actively involved, regularly, with chores...this will be a game-changer. It definitely has been for me. I also have a very exciting offer to share with you from the Mydoh team: *Use promo code GUWT10 when you sign up before January 31, 2022, to get $10 deposited in your Mydoh Wallet.
