CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR CHILD
Having regular conversations with your child about their online life is so important. If you show an interest, then they are more likely to come to you if they have a problem. Here are a list of questions to start with:
- What games/apps are you playing?
- Can I play this game/app with you?
- Do you have any online friends?
- What would you do if you saw something upsetting online?
- Do you understand what private information is?
INSTAGRAM – Let’s keep it private!
Whilst you should be over 13 years of age to have an Instagram account, if you choose to allow your child to have an account, make sure their account is set to private. This means that only followers that your child knows and accepts will see what they post.
