Episode Synopsis

Dr. Jillian Roberts is a clinical psychologist, an app developer, a best-selling author, and an associate professor in the Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership Studies at the University of Victoria.

Her latest book: "Kids, Sex, and Screens: Raising Strong Resilient Children in the Sexualized Digital Age", is designed to help parents guide children through issues like sexting and cyber-bullying, which they may not have grown up with themselves.

The book’s approach compares parenting to a seven-point compass. Each point representing a different concept for parents to understand as they communicate with their children. In this episode, Roberts discusses those points to help parents create a family capable of facing adversity and overcoming obstacles together.

The seven points are: Start Early, Give Unconditional Love, Stay Current, Set Smart Boundaries, Nurture Relationships, Lose Stigma and Prejudice, and Build Resilience.
