The Morning Wake Up discusses the challenges parents face when navigating their teens' desire for social media access. Holly Jean Brooker emphasises the importance of open conversations about online safety, especially as many teens are already engaging with these platforms. With increasing concerns about the risks associated with social media, including exposure to harmful content, Brooker encourages parents to educate themselves and establish boundaries while fostering a supportive environment for their children.

Brooker highlights the need for parents to be proactive in discussing online interactions and to normalise these conversations. Resources such as The Parenting Place and Common Sense Media are recommended for parents seeking guidance on digital parenting and how to approach difficult topics with their teens.

Tune into The Morning Wake Up from 6:00am - 10:00am on the Rhema Media App.
