We all recognise the importance of screens for communicating, connecting and learning, particularly after the period of Lockdown during which our children were on-line for lessons and also for socialising with their friends. Even as circumstances change this may continue for some while and habits acquired during isolation may be hard to break. 

The biggest question to ask is how do we manage our children’s screen usage so that they don’t miss out on other essential activities.

Communication and connection are essential if we are to keep our children safe and healthy. Coercion and control will only go so far and are detrimental to relationships. Successful parenting in the digital age depends on building up a relationship of trust.

We need to be there to support and guide them through the Digital Jungle, not panic and bury our heads in the sand or ban everything. This E book looks at how we can keep our children healthy and safe while making the most of the technologies available.
