Safer Internet Day 2021: Start the chat

Safer Internet Day for 2021 is help globally on February 9th. This year, the focus of Safer Internet Day is all about the need to “start the chat”, when it comes to keeping our kids safe online. Connecting with our kids has always been the backbone of all of my work with parents, schools and community groups when it comes to giving them the skills, thinking and behaviours to thrive in a digital world. In fact, my book has questions at the end of each chapter aimed to do just that. To give parents some ideas of how to start important but relevant conversations with kids…..but also of equal importance, it offers questions for parents to ask of themselves, in order to have those relevant conversations. Here are a few examples of ways you can get thinking about the digital world your kids are growing up in, and how you can help to have the conversations that focus on building the most important connection of all…..the one you have with your child.
