Top Tips for Adopting Safe & Healthy Online Habits
National Online Safety has released a new guide for parents and carers. This week’s content offers some fantastic tips for creating healthy online habits.
Everyone has a lot going on in their lives, and that extends to children. Going online can act as a form of escapism which comes with its own sets of pros and cons. You can chat and game with friends and send memes, but people also use it as a space to vent about the things that irritate us and make hurtful comments without really thinking.
It’s important to think about sharing positive things in online spaces too and your family’s online activities. National Online Safety has developed a guide to building children’s digital resilience, including tips for creating safe and healthy habits. They stress that ‘digital resilience’ is not about “putting up with things.” It’s about making responsible choices to keep us safe online, even if we see something negative.
