NFTs - What are they? Do my kids need to know about Crypto? Is this just a new fad or a new trend in digital collectables that are the future? How do Crypto and NFTs come into play with online gaming? These are just a few things we tackle in this episode of The Growing Up With Tech Show.

In this episode, I'm joined by not one, but two guests. Jamie McMahon and Alexia Sabow from CBC Kids.

This podcast topic is one that took me a while to find guests to come on and speak about so I’m really excited to share this with you! Join us as we explain everything (well, mostly) that you need to know about what NFTs and Crypto are...how they come into play for our kids and what parents should know as questions may come up from your kids.

#018 - Have you ever wondered how Virtual Reality can affect kids? Is too much gaming bad? How do you deal with tech addiction? How can we help our kids become more present in everyday social experiences? We cover all this and a whole lot more on this episode of Growing Up With Tech. I have to admit this was one of my favourite conversations yet and I think a lot of parents will take a lot away from this episode featuring Anxiety & Depression Specialist, Licensed Psychotherapist, Georgia Dow.

Have you ever wondered how immersive gaming affects kids? Should we control the amount of time our kids play VR games and why? What does the future hold for VR and AR tech in terms of gaming and social interactions? What about the anxiety of tech and the impact of social media on mental health? Listen in and find out what we uncover and what parents should consider. This is one you don’t want to miss.
