Parenting in the Age of Algorithms Part 2 – Starting the conversation

Episode description | Part 2 | How do you start a conversation with young people about the content they’re seeing online and keep it going?

On Wednesday, 4 November 2026, Teach Us Consent hosted Parenting in the Age of Algorithms at the State Library of NSW, where an incredible line up of speakers joined us across two panels.

Maggie joined the second panel moderated by the Teach Us Consent Founder & CEO Chanel Contos, and host of Two Doting Dads, Matthew Johnson; and developmental paediatrician and Guiding Growing Minds founder, Dr Billy Garvey.

Together, they shared practical advice on how to open up a discussion with the young person in your life about the content they come across and why showing up consistently and enjoying your kids matters more than being a perfect parent.

Before the panel got stuck into their discussion we screened a clip from ABC’s The State Of Man, which is now available to watch on ABC iview.
