What Your Child Does Online When You're Not Looking
Twelve pages. UAE-specific. Age-by-age — what your 7-year-old actually sees, what your 11-year-old is asking each other on the school bus, the platforms your 14-year-old has already stopped telling you about, and the ones your 17-year-old uses because they think you can’t.
Written by parents who have raised teenagers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, not by a Silicon Valley product manager. The conversations to have, the words to use, the things to do instead of panicking.

- Age 13–15 — TikTok, late-night usage, the friendship layer
- Age 16–18 — autonomy without abandonment, the conversations that matter
- Conversation starters, in Arabic and English, by age
