Experts agree that the time children spend on digital devices should be limited. At the same time, all kids need access to quality technology to thrive in a rapidly changing digital world.
So, how do you help your child use their digital time responsibly—help them take care of themselves and show responsibility towards others online?
Start a conversation with your children about responsible behavior online. This discussion will educate them and foster their future safety. Read each statement to your child and then discuss the possible answers to the questions following each statement.
Discuss: How does this show that you are responsible for yourself?
Discuss: How does this show you are responsible for your community?
Discuss: How does this show you are responsible for how your actions impact the world?
