Digital Safety and Wellbeing - A One Hour Informative Workshop for Parents & Whanau.

Raising children in the digital age comes with additional challenges. How do we keep our children safe and well online? What do we need to be on the lookout for when using digital devices? What are the benefits and negatives of our children's interactions that we need to be paying attention to when they are online?

In this one-hour workshop, we discuss these challenges and learn strategies to build confidence in parenting in the digital age.

Expected Participant Outcomes:

•Confidently talk about digital safety

•Be able to create easy yet strong passwords

• Become knowledgeable about popular apps and games and their benefits and dangers

•Understand how to guide tamariki to be safe and well online

•Understand the BEST techniques for parenting digital citizens

•Confidently use the STOP, BLOCK & TALK® digital safety strategy

•Know what a digital footprint is and how it will affect future opportunities for all children

•Family members and whānau will receive a flyer with handy information

We are delighted to be able to bring this FREE one hour workshop to Springston on Thursday 19th May and really hope that parents / caregivers and even wider whānau will be able to get along for this empowering and informative event presented by Neysa Koisumi from Digital Waitaha. (Also being held on Sunday 22nd May at 10.30am - West Melton Community Centre)
