As a parent, you might wonder when and how to start teaching your child about the internet. There’s no perfect age to give your child a phone—it’s your decision. Whenever you decide, it’s important to set clear rules.
In our sessions, we share practical tips for setting up parental controls, making family agreements about device use, and encouraging responsible digital habits. For instance, you might use the built-in parental controls on iOS or Android to block certain apps, limit screen time, or prevent in-app purchases. When creating a family agreement, consider setting rules like no phones at the dinner table or requiring devices to be charged overnight in a common area to encourage better sleep habits. We also discuss new issues like sexting, gaming addiction, and privacy, so you stay informed about the latest trends and risks.
Our Internet Safety Talks help parents gain the knowledge and confidence to guide their children safely online. We cover the most important topics.
Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram are focused on getting your attention, not your safety. We show parents, schools, and teachers how to set up accounts safely and use these platforms in a positive way.
Minecraft and ROBLOX can be great, but they also have some risks. Too much screen time can lead to moodiness, laziness, and less physical activity. Our team offers parents clear tips on using headphones, managing noise levels, taking breaks, sharing the game, and encouraging kids not to play alone, but to play with friends, not strangers.
To make playtime safer and more enjoyable, consider organising group play sessions with your child’s friends. Encourage your child to invite friends over for a shared gaming experience or set up a virtual playdate with known friends. Implement scheduled breaks to maintain focus and reduce eye strain. Monitor their interactions to ensure they engage positively and constructively in their gaming activities.
The goal is to socialise with friends online.
Not gather 100s of followers.
Don’t game online with strangers, people you do not know and can’t trust
To highlight the risks of having a large social media following composed of strangers, Facebook has reported that children with thousands of followers whom they do not know are seven times more likely to experience bullying. This statistic was shared during Facebook’s annual safety report in March 2020, emphasising the importance of maintaining an online network composed of known and trusted individuals.
If you are afraid of sexting, bullying, social media, adult content, hard-core pornography, making your child fat and lazy, consider this: why did you give your child a phone? Don’t let the phone be the parent.
When you attend our talks, you’ll learn how to support your child’s wellbeing, notice warning signs of online issues, and build a trusting relationship so your child feels safe sharing their online experiences.
