Make Sense co-founder Holly Jean Brooker has sat in front of MPs, worked with parents, and taught in classrooms. She’s seen the rapid rise of content, contact, conduct, and contract harms online. In this episode she outlines the stats every parent should know, why NZ needs a joined-up national response, and how mums and dads can lead with curiosity rather than fear.
We cover: age of first exposure, unwanted digital contact, grooming trends, and practical guardrails that protect relationship and wellbeing. Plus, how to ask about disturbing videos your kids may have seen and respond with empathy.
