Parenting today’s tech savvy kids can seem overwhelming, but
you can do it! Take these seven simple, but still challenging steps, to
becoming a good digital parent.
Yes when they are small we all have a hand on things. But as
they get big it becomes more difficult to keep an eye out for things and so
much can go wrong. Scams, hacking, kidnapping and so much
more.
Talk with your kids
Educate yourself
Use parental controls
Set ground rules and enforce consequences
Friend and follow but don’t stalk
Explore, share, and celebrate
Be a good digital role model
Talk early and often be open and direct and always stay calm.
Always try and search online for anything that you do not understand and try
out some apps, games and sites yourself. Discuss and sign a family safety
agreement so that the bond is already there. Restrict where and when they may
use the device and that way boundaries will be set. If a rule is broken remove
the tech privileges and do try and stick to them.
Follow your kids on social media but also respect their
online space and freedom, try not to flood their accounts with comments and
likes. Go online with your kids and explore their digital world, share your own
online experiences and learn from each other and have some fun!
