Scenario

When parent groups focused on digital safety become echo chambers of fear

Our study group started because we all felt overwhelmed by how to teach our kids about social media safely, but now every meeting turns into someone sharing a scary article and the rest of us spiraling about screen time and predators. We're making each other more anxious instead of more informed and I think we're losing sight of actually helping our children.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group seeking empowerment through knowledge has become trapped in information that amplifies rather than soothes their deepest anxieties.
