Marinés Duarte: This Latina mom is fostering online safety thanks to Google and YouTube Kids!

Since 2017, Marinés is the only Latina mom at the YouTube Parent Panel, and this year, she became one of the six official members of The Google Family Partner Program. As a Latina mompreneur and influencer, Marinés is helping these tech giants create a safer online environment for families.

Together for a safer Internet

Marinés is taking part in the new efforts to ensure that YouTube Kids is safer, more educational, and entertaining for kids to explore age-appropriate video content. 

Recently, Marinés was present as one of the keynote speakers at the most important event for family content creators in the United States, Mom 2.0 Summit. On behalf of Google, Marinés shared the stage with the famous social researcher, Brené Brown.

Now she has officially joined the Google Family Program, which is empowering families by giving them the tools to be safer online and achieve digital-wellbeing, which entails understanding our tech usage and take back control of our online and offline lives. The Google Family Program makes it possible for parents and experts to exchange experiences and advice to make safer and more balanced use of technology. 

A new commitment to achieve digital well-being

Marinés was invited to spend three days at Google's headquarters in Los Angeles, California. There she got the chance of discussing and learning about the latest advances and tools in online safety and digital well-being for families.  

According to Marinés, many parents find it difficult to teach their children how to make safer and more balanced use of technology. "We didn't learn these things while growing up. But now we have the responsibility of guiding our children in this new digital world", she explained. 

Here is when Google Family comes into play: On the digital-wellbeing website, families can find tools for finding a better online and offline balance. With the Family Link app by Google, parents can set digital ground rules to guide their children as they explore online. Finally, the bilingual program Be Internet Awesome keeps expanding, and teaching more kids and teens to have better online habits, be better digital citizens and be smart, alert, safe, kind and brave on the Internet.
