Season 1, Ep. 12, 39 mins
Our children’s mental health is under attack.
From the age of 11, they’re bombarded with information and messages via the smartphones in their pockets. Parents are struggling to protect them from the dangers of the digital world.
Parents vs. The Internet is the Daily Mail’s unmissable podcast, which asks what we can do to keep our young people safe and better protect their mental health.
Hosted by the Daily Mail’s Liz Hull and Esther Ghey, whose daughter Brianna Ghey tragically lost her life in an incident that was planned using the internet, the 10-part series explores what caregivers; teachers; and policymakers can do to support young people in leveraging technology for good, and safeguard them from the bad.
In this episode, Liz and Esther talk to Jamie’s Farm co-founder Tish Fielden about the extraordinary work she is doing to get children off their smartphones.Â
After suffering a family tragedy herself, Tish and her son set up Jamie’s Farm to bring kids from London to their estate, where smartphones and the internet are strictly banned during their stay. Tish shares the incredible impact this has had on the thousands of children who’ve been to the farm and what more needs to be done to protect their mental health.
