A Must-Read for Navigating the Digital World

This book has been a lifesaver for my teen. It really breaks down how to think critically about the online world without feeling preachy or overwhelming. My teen has started making smarter decisions online, and it’s sparked great conversations between us. The tips are relevant and relatable, making it easier to connect with what they’re facing. If you want to guide your teen through the digital maze, this is a fantastic resource!

Great for teens navigating online life

I got this audiobook for my daughter, and we both found it really helpful. It breaks down the pressures of growing up in a tech-filled world without being preachy. It’s full of tips she can actually use, and it sparked some awesome conversations between us. Definitely recommend it for parents looking to support their teens through today’s online challenges!

Endless intelligent takeaways here

Lots of smart takeaways here from LLR Academy, one of which that I thought particularly noteworthy was the encouragement to listeners to protect and cultivate a professional online presence. This included deleting old social media posts, setting up alerts to see if anyone had posted anything about you, and changing privacy settings to make sure anything abut you that doesn’t seem professional wouldn’t be easily accessed by potentially employers and the like. Personally, I don’t think employers should be allowed to hire or not hire based on someones social media (I think this is entirely unfair) but nonetheless, it happens and can’t really be policed. Very smart stuff. I remember being in college and having this same lesson taught to us.

In addition, the book explains how misinformation can be spread so easily in a Digital age where anyone has access to video editing software (even on their phones) and how accidentally spreading this can be really harmful. Something that so many people have fallen victim to especially in the last few years.

There is a ton in here that is important for not only young listeners, but really anyone who is using social media or the internet in general. It’s just packed full of really great and sensible advice that some people really, really need to hear.
