Left To Their Own Devices

Format: Single Session Event or Short Course

Parenting in a digital age brings amazing opportunities for our children but also raises issues and concerns. How much screentime should they have? What are they playing or watching? Who are they connecting with? Our role as parents and carers is to help keep our children safe and healthy….and this includes keeping them safe in the online world! This single session explores parenting concerns about gaming, online risks and safety, and how to set boundaries. It will help equip you with practical strategies and ideas to support your child more confidently in a world where they are ‘digital natives’ and we are ‘digital visitors’.
