How do I protect my girl from the dangers of social media?
This is the number one question so many moms have been asking me lately.
Maybe your daughter has already been exposed to some meanness or manipulation. Maybe you’re afraid your daughter will be exposed any day now.
Scary stuff. But totally preventable.
We’ve talked a bit about tech here at Mothering & Daughtering with our WeThriveTV episode #27 on Setting Real Tech Boundaries.
And I have heard from many of you that you want to go deeper.
Deborah McNamara is back by popular demand. Her interview on setting real tech boundaries is one of our most watched videos. She’s an author, a developmental psychologist at heart, and a mama of 13 and 15 year-old daughters.
She’s wise, savvy and real. She knows this topic intimately- as a child psychologist and a mother of two girls.
I couldn’t be more excited to share this next interview with you!

Once you’ve gotten a chance to check out the video, leave a comment below —
How can you put into action one of Deborah McNamara’s recommendations for her developmental approach to protecting your daughter from cyberbullying?
— because collective wisdom rocks,
and we want to hear your take.
We need each other.
Love,

P.S. Forward this video to a mama who’s raising her girl in this tech world. Because sharing is caring, and everyone could use a stronger bond.
I wish I would have heard this before giving my daughter her cell phone and/or letting her have snap chat. This was very insightful; however, I also now feel bummed because my daughter is that child who seeks closeness, importantance,etc through things like snap chat. I feel she is addicted. She barely speaks to me, doesn’t like me near her, she is very nasty, etc. She is depressed and anxious. She lacks self love, self worth, etc. So now I really don’t know what to do since she already has social media, etc. I am working very hard and using all my energy to speak to her spirit via soft voice instead of yelling. So, as good as this is (and I already shared it), now I feel like I failed my daughter.
