In this interview, Elizabeth Milovidov, a European eSafety consultant and the founder of Digital Parenting Consulting and Coach, shares how the lockdown and increased online interactions led many parents to seek her advice. More and more families had to understand how to use technology in a positive manner, how to set boundaries and engage with their children. During the lockdown, Elizabeth doubled her efforts in running the community of parents and fellow online protection experts. She had time to listen more to parents to create helpful resources that would give them the right amount of information at the right time. Unlike her consulting of big companies, most of the coaching Elizabeth does is pro-bono. With more work on that front, she created a crowdfunding sponsorship account where parents can express their support. To our viewers, Elizabeth offers a small challenge to ask your children “How was your online day today?”
