What if you could anonymously ask one of the world’s leading online safety experts anything — and actually get a straight answer? That’s exactly what Dear Teen is. Every week, social worker and pedagogist Allison Ochs sits down with a real teen for an unscripted, honest conversation about life online. A pedagogist is more than an educator — it is a professional trained in child development, behaviour, and the social and emotional forces that shape how young people grow. Combined with her background as a social worker, Allison brings a rare and powerful perspective to one of the most urgent issues of our time: helping young people stay safe, think critically, and own their digital lives. Allison is the founder of Edit Change Management and a published author whose work has influenced online safety conversations around the world. For over a decade, she has travelled the world visiting schools, listening to what teens are actually experiencing online
