Techdirt Podcast Episode 380: How To Actually Help Kids Online

from the doing-things-differently dept

As we’ve written about repeatedly, efforts to protect kids online and improve their mental health at the moment all seem to be focused on taking social media away from them, even though all the evidence suggests this would be harmful, not helpful. Today, we’re joined by Rob Morris, who aims to take a different approach with his online mental health service Koko, for a discussion about how the real way to help kids is to meet them where they’re at.

Kids.

The best thing for kids is to answer their questions. But as we all understand, even as adults, we cant know Everything.
I love the net and the instant access to History, data, Random data that I THINK I need/want to know.
This is your grandparents teaching you kids about fireworks. This is the teachers showing them how to use the library. This is taking your kid to the Zoo, ONLINE, because you cant drive 1000 miles to do it IRL.

Its already been shown that Low income workers Are working 2-3 times harder, then in the past 40 years. Corps cutting corners, and soforth is making it hard for the parents to BE THERE for the kids. And HOME arnt built for Large families, or much of any family, considering the CURRENT PRICES.
It would be nice to have Grand parents and a WHOLE family in 1 house, so that Everyone can take up the care and feeding of the young minds.
