Episode Synopsis

If the viral Netflix show Adolescence left you with more questions than answers, you’re not alone. From the rise of the Manosphere to the coded language teens use online, today’s digital world is complex—and constantly shifting. So fast that parents are not even aware. In this episode of Parenting Playbook, HoneyKids Asia Podcast host Angela Neo chats with Shem Yao from TOUCH Cyber Wellness to unpack today’s digital realities and online subcultures that are shaping our children’s beliefs and behaviours – for better or for worse. He shares how parents of teens can connect meaningfully with their children, spot red flags, guide them to online safety, and think critically in an ever-connected world.Recommended readings:Staying safe online: How to protect teens from groomingHow to manage your kids’ screen timeFeatured voices:Angela Neo, host of HoneyKids Asia podcast, and a mother of twoShem Yao, Head of TOUCH Cyber Wellness
