Ever wondered how to effectively foster digital literacy and gaming etiquette in your children? We, at Daily Dad, have got you covered! We're sharing our unique approach which leans on empowering kids to protect themselves online by using tools like mute, block, or hide chat options, rather than pulling away from the digital world completely. We believe in instilling constructive criticism and empathy as key values when they engage with others online.
But preparing our kids for the digital frontier is just one piece of the parenting puzzle. We take a deep dive into the role and significance of communication in building and nurturing relationships with our children. By being present, engaging and mindful of our children's social circles, we can guide them to navigate life's tricky tides. We dissect the harsh realities of the world and how we can arm our children against unscrupulous individuals, while also guiding them through the complexities of friendships.
Finally, reflecting on our own past and personal experiences, we offer insights into how these influences shape our parenting style and our children's personal growth. We underline the need for providing our children with the educational guidance and support we may have lacked ourselves. We also grapple with the challenge of maintaining our personal identity while juggling the demands of parenthood. We argue that setting boundaries and expectations can significantly influence a child's choices and life path. Join us in this enlightening journey as we navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood in the digital age.

I'm from Australia and am what you would call a father who games. I have 5 kids so not as much time to game as I used to. But I still game and stream when I can. So come join me on Twitch in chat as we chill out.
