Digital Family Coach - Expert Online Safety School Speaker and Parenting Coach
Parents are losing the tech battle, I think it's time they started winning! - Daniel Towle
I believe digital parenting correctly is now the most important aspect of parenting. Parents go to great lengths to keep their children safe at school, at home and on the streets. However when it comes to the online world, children are exposed to such vast amounts of information and content. This can be beneficial and inspiring, but the flip side is content and ideas damaging to their physical and emotional well-being and development. I believe my experience makes me the ideal person to empower parents and children to quickly and effectively change their lives for the better. Find out why below.
Educational Experience
I have spent 12+ years working in education, primarily as Head of Technology at one of the top London Preparatory Schools. I have lead digital strategy, secured two 'excellent' ratings for my department from the Independent Schools Inspectorate, and trained staff in digital education skills. I have worked with parents through talks, workshops, and 1:1 sessions to achieve tangible results in a short period of time.
Digital Experience
My digital experience gives me insider knowledge on the creative industries, how they work and the affect they have on our mental health. I have worked in fashion photography, shooting and manipulating images for the best London model agencies. I was a content creator with over 2 million views on Youtube, and have been Head of Brand in the travel industry.
Personal Experience
I've witnessed the real-world consequences of online behavior throughout my life. I've seen friends who have been groomed and sexually exploited online, as well as families grappling with issues like online addiction and depression. Many individuals believe that such things won't happen to them, but the reality is that the patterns leading to these troubling situations often begin early in a person's online journey. My mission is to disrupt these patterns before they develop into behaviours that result in heartache and suffering.
Personal style
I use a balance of logistical problem solving with emotional intelligence and empathy. This allows me to connect with both parents and children to encourage healthy tech habits and an atmosphere of trust and honesty. I'm particularly proud of being mentioned by name in People Magazine.
