In a world where technology and social media influence every aspect of our lives, Yetty Williams, an award-winning speaker, coach, and social entrepreneur, has released her highly anticipated book, Digital Savvy Parenting: What the World Urgently Needs. This essential guide empowers parents and caregivers to raise responsible, empathetic digital citizens while building meaningful family connections.
Yetty Williams – How the Journey Began.
Recognising the unique challenges of 21st-century parenting, Yetty began her journey over a decade ago by hosting the first-ever parenting seminar in Lagos, Nigeria. Since then, she has built a thriving global community that reaches millions annually through social media, email, and her blog, LagosMums. Her initiatives include partnering with Google to train parents and children on how to be not just safe but empowered users of digital technology.
“As parents who grew up in an analogue world, we often find ourselves grappling with the complexities of raising children immersed in the digital age,” Yetty explains. “This book is a practical and empathetic roadmap to help families thrive in a tech-driven world.”
A Decade of Impact and Continuous Growth
Yetty’s expertise is built on a foundation of academic excellence, including an MBA in Strategy and Finance from the Yale School of Management and a BSc in Economics and Mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh. Her commitment to self-development includes certifications in life coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emotional freedom techniques, and cyberpsychology.
Over the years, she has collaborated with global organisations, including receiving grants from Google and the US State Department. Her work empowers parents, business owners, and individuals to unlock the potential of technology while aligning it with personal and family goals.
In addition to her work in digital parenting, Yetty is an award-winning speaker and coach, renowned for her expertise in entrepreneurship, work-life harmony, and parenting in the digital age. As a social entrepreneur, she is passionate about creating sustainable solutions that positively impact families and communities.
What Readers Can Expect
Drawing from her lived experiences and extensive professional expertise, Digital Savvy Parenting is not just a book but a toolkit. It includes:
- Practical strategies for navigating common fears like screen addiction, cyberbullying, and exposure to inappropriate content.
- Tools for fostering trust and open communication between parents and children.
- Insights into setting healthy boundaries and promoting positive digital habits.
- Reflective coaching prompts to help parents start their journey toward becoming digitally savvy.
The book also addresses the global challenges of raising children in a digital-first world, offering solutions tailored to families in Nigeria, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and beyond.
A Call to Action for Parents Worldwide
Yetty believes that now is the time for parents to embrace their role as guides and coaches in their children’s digital lives. “Our children don’t need us to know everything about technology—they need us to provide context, values, and connection,” she emphasises.
At its core, Digital Savvy Parenting empowers families to create a balanced approach to technology, fostering resilience and intentionality in the digital age.
