The internet has become a vital source of information in our lives. It can have many educational advantages for children but much care is needed around what children access online and ‘netiquette’ – how to behave and interact appropriately while online. It is important that parents get involved with what children are doing online. This means not just talking to our children about what they do online but also listening. It is important that we talk openly and regularly about our concerns and agree boundaries around internet use in our homes.
Please visit Webwise Parents hub to find more supports including video interviews with experts, talking points on topics that are difficult to discuss with your child, explainer guides for new apps and technologies, and lots more.
