Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

• Elaine and Diane explain it's crucial for parents to have open and honest conversations with their children about their online activities.
• Elaine and Diane emphasize the importance of mindfulness in technology usage. They advocated for conscious engagement with digital tools and encouraged individuals to view technology as a supportive tool rather than a controlling force.
