What types of media are appropriate for my child? Is this app or game ok for them to download or play? What about online games? How do I configure my devices at home so they’re safe? These are examples of questions that all parents should be asking themselves as their children are growing up. But, the process of answering them can be daunting because each response needs to be personalized to your family, your values, and your unique situation. Thankfully, the Tech Team is here to help!
