In this episode, Dan and Ray are joined by psychologist and cyber psychology expert Jocelyn Brewer, founder of Digital Nutrition, to unpack one of the biggest challenges facing education today: how schools and parents can support student wellbeing in an AI-driven world.
Jocelyn introduces the concept of “digital nutrition” - a more balanced, intentional approach to technology use that moves beyond simplistic ideas like screen time limits. Together, they explore how young people are already using AI for everything from homework to navigating friendships, often in ways adults don’t fully understand.
The conversation dives into the risks and opportunities of AI as a companion, why banning technology rarely works, and how schools can shift from restriction to risk minimisation. Jocelyn also challenges educators and parents to engage more openly with young people, positioning them as experts in their own digital lives.
This episode is a powerful reminder that there are no simple answers - but doing nothing isn’t an option.
