Testimonials

"Before booking a consultation with Nic, we thought we were fairly on top of the whole cyber safety situation, as I work in child protection and my partner is a tech nerd! However, as our children grow older (pre-teen down to toddler) their needs are varying and their personalities very different. So we were really looking for tips, tricks, guidance about ‘where to from here’. Ultimately, Nic’s friendly, warm and engaging approach to booking a session made us go, ‘why not give it a go?’ We were absolutely floored by how much knowledge Nic had and just how much we took away from the session. It was lovely to be reassured we were on the right path with some elements of our parenting around cyber safety and tech use, but it was wonderful to have someone to talk through specifics and give us more ideas about the challenges ahead of us. Nic gave practical, hands-on, resources and tools and helped us make some tough decisions…including letting our children use social media. They’re going to one day, right? So Nic’s support helped us determine the safest way to introduce not only the best social media platform for them in relation to age and development, but also how to work with our kids to make this a safe, fun journey. We are feeling more informed; we have a plan now, about what we want to do in relation to internet use & social media use, and that makes us feel more confident. Thanks Nic!"

"Thank you so much for presenting the Information Session on Parenting in a Digital Age for our school community. It's is so important to empower or parents so they feel informed and confident enough to make decisions that protect and support their children as digital citizens. Your session certainly did that. Those involved particularly appreciated that your technical, yet down-to-earth advice came from the lived experiences of a mother of both primary and secondary aged children. We would highly recommend your Parent Information Sessions to other schools looking to enhance parent understanding, skills and confidence to support their children in this digital age."

"My name is Therese and I am a mother to three children - 12, 10 & 8. I attended a Digital Parenting Session given by Nicolle Embra (The Tech Mum) and found this to be very informative and enlightening. Nicolle gave me some very useful tips on internet safety and ways in which I can help protect my children while they are using their devices. I highly recommend going along to one of these sessions as it was very educational and helpful."

"My 8yo daughter was getting more and more into Minecraft, kids messenger, and utube ( ughh) and the time she spent on devices had gradually increased to the point that we needed to reign it in. My partner and I were also guilty of browsing social media a little too much at times so we decided it was time to look for a screen time management strategy that would suit our family and give us back the family time that was slowly diminishing. The Cyber Safety Tech Mum’s “The Screen time formula” online course allowed me to work through the video tutorials in my own time and provided all the resources needed to get our family screen time strategy together. I particularly liked the fact that it was not a ‘one size fits all’ solution, but offered information and pros/cons on various strategy approaches we could take to build a bespoke strategy around our family values and commitments. It was also good to find out about the numerous parental controls that are readily available on most devices and apps to help enforce the rules! The course was easy to follow and navigate, and had a logical approach that worked in well with the printables and workbook. Thanks Nic – After a few negotiations and challenges we now have a very well thought out and agreed on plan that gives us a great starting point for a more balanced life! The dogs are ecstatic

"Nic shared valuable information in regards to us managing screen time for our 4 kids. Knowing how to manage our 14 year old's fascination with gaming was a challenge but with her advice and tips we were able to come up with a screen time plan and rules that work for our family"
