Podcast: the online world doesn’t just influence kids, it re-shapes them

How many times a day do kids look at a screen? And what if the online world doesn’t just entertain them, but actually changes who they are? In this episode, we dive into the impact of the digital environment on children and teens, from social media algorithms and beauty culture to exposure to sexual content online, and the effects on their self-image, relationships, and boundaries

This episode will address:

  • how social media shapes young people’s identities;
  • why the digital environment is so powerful and how to talk about it;
  • how to be a true role model in a hyperconnected world.

This episode offers practical insights and actionable advice you can use right away.

This episode's guest is Lenka Eckertová, director of the RSJ Foundation and author of books on safe behaviour in the digital world. Together with the hosts, she explores how technology amplifies what children experience in real life, why they sometimes join online spaces before they even understand themselves, and what this means for parents, teachers, and families.
