There are many benefits to children being online, such as socialising, accessing information and support, getting creative and lots more! But there are also potential risks. Consider these things when you talk with your child about what they're doing online:
🔹 What are they seeing? Whether it’s a game, an app or YouTube – have they seen any inappropriate content, and if so, how did it make them feel?
🔹 Who are they talking to? Ask about the friends they’re playing or communicating with. Do they talk to people they haven't met in real life?
🔹 Has their behaviour changed? What’s their behaviour when using apps or playing games? Do they feel anxious? Or when they lose a game, do they feel angry? For more information visit the NSPCC Online Safety Hub here: bit.ly/3KnIl27 #NSPCCParenting
