Broadcast date: 10/11/2018

Most parents will agree that one of the biggest challenges of our time is parenting  children in the Digital Age. In a recent study one-in-three parents said they have had concerns or questions about their child’s technology use in the last year. Parenting issues include struggles over video game time limits, social media safety, and internet addiction, just to name a few.

Join host Kris Kington-Barker as she speaks with Eileen Calandro, owner of Calandro Consulting, Lea Payne Scott, M.P.H., Social & Behavioral Health Educator, and Brandy Swain, Crime Prevention Specialist with the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office as they talk about parenting and technology, and the challenges and opportunities of raising kids in the Digital Age.

Central Coast Voices is sponsored by ACTION for Healthy Communities in collaboration with KCBX and made possible through underwriting by Joan Gellert-Sargen.

Kris Kington-Barker is co-host of Central Coast Voices, heard every Thursday on KCBX from 1:00—12:00 p.m. Kris has worked in healthcare fields ranging from mental health to hospital administration, and has served as a volunteer and board member for many Central Coast non-profit organizations.
