Raising Your Child in a Digital World - Essential tips from my book
I’VE WORKED WITH:
Navigating the digital world is hard.
Add in the noise of 10,000 opinions on how much is too much when it comes to kids and technology…and what they should be doing online…and whether it’s disrupting their development, or helping them to learn…
Parenting screen-agers is really hard.
There’s so much conflicting advice about kids using devices.
There are so many myths and misconceptions.
Teachers and professionals are worried that students' and employees' health is being compromised by their time online.
But I can help make it a bit easier.
I’m Dr Kristy,
and I help parents ditch the techno-guilt… and professionals empower their staff to tame their tech habits...via seminars and workshops both online and offline throughout Australia.
I’ll provide you with facts, not fears when it comes to navigating the digital world.
As a digital health and wellbeing expert I arm parents and professionals (educators, health professionals, corporations and sporting clubs)with evidence-based information about what young children, adolescents and adults really need to thrive both online and offline.
I help parents and professionals understand the impact of a “digitalised childhood” on their child’s health, wellbeing, learning and development (without needing to ban the iPad or unplug the TV). I help employees and executives tame their tech habits so they're not a slave to the screen.
As a speaker, author and researcher (and a mum!) I translate the latest research-based information into practical and digestible tips that are essential for time-poor and bamboozled parents. I empower parents to make informed decisions so that they can ditch their guilt and confusion.
I’m available to deliver keynote addresses at parenting and educator conferences throughout Australia and Asia.
I lead parent seminars and workshops in preschools, childcare centres, primary and secondary schools, local councils, church, corporations (Lunch and Learn seminars), community and sporting groups. I do anything from one-hour presentations to full-day workshops.
I’ve spoken to groups of 10 to 1000 people (and everything in between). I’ve spoken offline at live events, conferences and workshops and online via webinars and video chat.

As a mum, I also understand that sometimes it’s tricky to organise a babysitter to attend a live event, so I’ve created some online, video workshops that you can download here.
If none of the above match exactly what you’re looking for, I’d be happy to discuss tailoring a workshop specific to your needs. Click below to start the conversation.

Let me put an end to the guesswork and guilt out of raising young children and teens in a world of screens.
LET ME SHARE RESEARCH-BASED INFORMATION AND PRACTICAL TIPS ABOUT WHAT YOUNG CHILDREN REALLY NEED TO THRIVE ONLINE AND OFFLINE IN THIS DIGITAL WORLD.
Thank you for an amazing - though whirlwind - one day with us and our local school leaders. There is a huge buzz around the great conversations you led and we are quite sure that these are going to lead to deeper reflections around the effective use of technology for our early learners.

Dr Kristy Goodwin was the guest speaker for the Playgroup NSW 2015 AGM. She provided a rapt audience of our members (mostly parents of children from 0-5) with strategies for ensuring that popular technologies are used in developmentally appropriate and healthy ways with young children.
The feedback from everyone who attended was very positive and they were engaged and found Kristy to be one of the most straight forward and helpful speakers in this area. We would certainly recommend her to other organisations.
KAREN BEVAN | CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER | PLAYGROUP NSW
Kristy, you are very inspiring. It is wonderful to hear you talk about using technology successfully with children and how we can assist and enhance the learning process if we think carefully about it. I’ve already started to apply some of your strategies with the children I care for!
