Description

Kids and teens spend a huge part of their lives in digital spaces — on apps like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram and even using artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT. Gaming platforms like Roblox have become virtual playgrounds, too. 


These tools can be fun, creative and social, but they also carry real risks, ranging from misinformation to cyberbullying and grooming by online predators. 


MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks about how to keep kids safe without shutting them out of the digital world. 


She’ll talk with her guests about what’s working, what isn’t and how families can find some balance online.
