What can we ALL do to reduce device time? (Parents too!) Strategies to reduce phone pickups via using Do Not Disturb and using gamification (kids v parents) to see who can use their devices for the least amount of time. We also debate the usefulness of Apple Watches (Big Mama is NOT convinced).
In today’s episode, I’m going to help the Squid Squad teach their parents why you cannot, in fact, pause a live game. Explaining to parents how live games work, (because they’re LIVE). Helping parents imagine how it feels to be yanked out of their world – like by a Magic Claw. Jesse “Big Mama” Weinberger is an Internet Safety Speaker & the host of the Internet Safety Podcast: Big Mama’s House Podcast- A Podcast for Teens

If you’re sick of getting yelled at about your phone use, but your parents are doing the same things, this episode will give you some strategies in how you can confront your parents (in a good way) about your THEIR device overuse. Also: download the Teen Family Contract to give to your parents.
Too many parents either don’t engage or don’t believe that their teens are suffering. That’s why Season 2 will be focused directly to teenagers. If we’re going to make even the slightest dent in digital safety we need help from a population who doesn’t need to be “convinced” that there’s a problem in the first place.

Beginning with Season 2 – Big Mama’s House Podcast will be a podcast for teens
It’s taken forever, but season 2 is finally going to be released this week.
Focusing on Teens
I went back and forth for a long time – trying to craft the best possible way to reach a much larger audience. (I can only spend *so* much time traveling before I snap.) After much deliberation, I’ve decided to reformat the podcast.
Big Mama’s House Podcast is now for teens (13 years old and up).
While covering true crime, tech issues, social media issues, bullying, sexting, etc – I’m also going to explore the latest discoveries in mental health, as well as topics exploring the immense amounts of pressure impacting teens.
(Insider info: Based on the episodes already recorded, I can guarantee that you’ll learn something new and laugh along in the process. Some of my guests are the teeensiest bit unhinged. My favorite.)
Useful to parents & schools too
As an added bonus, the teen-centric content will be a useful resource for parents and school districts. If you’re a parent or an educator and you’re not sure how to begin a conversation, feel free to use the episodes as the starting point for “real” conversations.
If you’ve landed in this space as an adult, you’re welcome to stay and participate. Just beware that we’re going to have some stuff to say to you too. Like, don’t ask your kids to put their phones down at dinner, while YOU have yours in your hand. Seriously. Enough is enough
Bottom Line
Season 1’s intended audience is adults and school districts
Season 2’s (and future season’s) intended audience is teens
