Fun fact: The eSafety Office might have had funding quadrupled, but there is no litigation budget to pursue the Tech Companies that breach the ban via court proceedings....

Outspoken comments by the bureaucrat in charge of implementing the federal government’s ban have stirred up opposition to the scheme.

Your client needs it now. Your boss says it's urgent. And before you've had a coffee, it's already living in your body.

That's not dedication. That's someone else's panic finding a home in your nervous system.

Somewhere along the way we started treating other people's timelines as instructions. Their stress lands, we absorb it, and suddenly we're reactive instead of intentional.

This week I actually typed this in an email to a client who was running on a different clock to me:

Your urgency is not my urgency.

Not rude. Not dismissive. Just honest. Possibly a bit eye opening.

The irony? They were enquiring about a session on boundaries and priorities.

The biggest attention drains aren't always apps. Sometimes they're people, and the quiet assumption that their timeline automatically becomes yours. It doesn't.

Digital Nutrition™ is about being intentional with where your attention goes. That includes deciding whose stress you absorb, and whose you don't.

Save this for the next time someone else's deadline tries to move into your calendar. 👇

We taught kids 'resilience'. We gave them endless tech. Their digital skills are at a 20-year low and their mental health isn't much better.

Here's what we didn't do: ask them.

Not in a tick-a-box survey. Not in a student representative council that reports to no one. Actually ask. Actually listen. Actually change something based on what they said.

Young people are not the problem to be managed. They're the experts on their own experience. Co-designing solutions with them isn't soft or idealistic. It's just good practice.

The interventions keep failing because the people most affected by them had no hand in shaping them.

What would change if we genuinely started there?

Stop chasing. Breathe. Think critically. Take the next right step.

Which honestly might be to close the app and walk away.

The social media ban made headlines — but your kids are still online.

Gaming, AI tools, and a new wave of synthetic friendships are filling the gaps, and the conflict over screens at home hasn't gone anywhere. So what now?

In this free 45-minute webinar, Jocelyn will cut through the noise and help you understand what's actually happening in your child's digital world right now — and what families who are navigating it well are doing differently.

You'll leave with a clearer picture of the digital landscape your child is living in, and what your next move as a parent could look like.

Spoiler alert - a clear collaborative technology-use agreement is going to save you a lot of hassles!

+ Free session, recording will be shared if you cant attend live.

Let's talk deeply and seriously about AI with people who deeply understand it. Not grifters and crumb maidens who are using scarcity and fomo to make you think the robots are going to make you a millionaire. Turn on the technology under your skull and use it. But also follow folks like and not influencers.

"Mum, that's cheating." Oooh, now that’s a curly one. 😅

We gave Claude the ideas 𝘴𝘩𝘦 already had - that she wanted to be a playground pal, that she cared about people belonging, and it helped us shape them into something she could actually stand up and say.

She added 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 flourishes. We were not late for school. Everyone won*

This is what using AI 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 your kids looks like. Not doing it for them. Not handing them a finished product and walking away. But sitting alongside them, using their words and their values as the input, and letting the tool do the heavy lifting on the scaffolding.

Is it cheating? I'd call it knowing how to use your resources - which I believe is a life skill worth modelling.

How are you using AI with your kids?

The instinct when something feels big and new and scary is to ban it, block it, or ignore it and hope it goes away. I get it.
