Courageous Parenting: The 'TikTok Generation' with Joseph the Dreamer
With more people on social media than ever before, it's likely that your teen is engaged on one or more platforms. But, do you know what those platforms are and do you know what they're looking at? Bigger still, how on earth do we engage with them over this? Megan chats to Joseph the Dreamer- viral Tik Tokker, about how we can love our kids and have the necessary conversations with them about social media and dis-empower any fear surrounding it.
See more of what Joseph does over here on his YouTube channel.
