We are a group of parents and aspiring parents, with psychology, legal and marketing backgrounds – brought together by our passion for managing how our kids’ experience and engage with the digital world. Be in Touch was born out of our ongoing search for the best practical tools to add to our parenting repertoire, and a desire to share these with others.
We offer a tailor-made program to both single sex and co-ed primary and high schools, focussed on giving parents, teachers and kids insights, tools and language to talk about and consciously manage their digital worlds.
Experienced and dynamic educational consultant, Josh Ramsey, offers a range of talks on the challenges of today's digital world. He tailors talks to parents and schools (primary and high), on navigating the digital age, covering social media, gaming, pornography and self-control.
We review and, where necessary, try out all the tools and tips we suggest, whether it is information about trends, Apps, games and other digital media, or practical ways to manage digital devices within families or schools. We gladly recommend other websites that we think offer great advice, as well as products or resources that support a healthier digital diet.
