Living in the digital age is a double-edged sword. While modern technology offers countless benefits, it's also becoming a powerful tool for harm — especially against younger generations. This shift has introduced a new set of parenting challenges unlike anything seen before.

According to a 2024 World Health Organization study, about 1 in 6 adolescents have experienced cyberbullying. With numbers like that, it's no surprise that many parents are deeply concerned. But this concern has also created tension at home. A recent study by AngelQ, revealed that families have over 500 tech-related arguments each year, totaling roughly 96 hours of conflict annually.
