AI is changing everything — fast. From chatbots doing homework to deepfakes that blur the line between real and fake, today’s kids are growing up in a digital world unlike anything we’ve seen before. And most parents? They’re not getting the full story.

In the latest episode of aParently Speaking, host, Miriam Conner is  joined by Angela Nakalembe — a mom and tech professional at Google (speaking personally, not on behalf of the company) with over a decade of experience in cybersecurity and digital literacy. Angela brings a clear, practical voice to the complex and often hidden risks our kids are exposed to online, especially in the age of AI.

They discuss topics including:

• Why traditional parental controls aren’t enough anymore


• How deepfakes and behavioral data are reshaping childhood


• What schools should be teaching about digital footprints


• And how parents can actually stay informed and empowered

If you’re a parent of Gen Alpha or Gen Z, this is a must-listen conversation that cuts through the tech jargon and gets real about what families need to know now.

aParently Speaking is presented by Northeast Ohio Parent and sponsored by Nickajack Farms.
