Protecting your Kids in a Digital World
Since Covid hit, screen time for children has gone way up. With increased remote learning, use of video chats to stay connected, growing numbers of social media platforms and the rise of live streaming technology, children are online and using their digital devices more than ever.
In this climate, increased time online also means increased risks for your children.
Do you know what the risks are? Have you heard of cappers, online luring, sextortion or cyberbullying? Did you know that one simple “click” could be all it takes to expose children to harm? What about the steps to keep your kids safe, build healthy online habits, and ensure open discussion about the dangers?
Many dads feel overwhelmed when it comes to technology use and their children. In today’s digital world, it’s only gotten harder. Dad Central wants to help you, and we’ve assembled a panel of experts to simplify and clarify the most important steps dads need to take now.
This free online discussion Protecting Your Kids in a Digital World provides insight and free resources to help dads:
- Understand the risks children face online
- Talk to children about digital safety (e.g. don’t post locations on social media, don’t post schedules online, don’t accept Friend invites from strangers)
- Set boundaries on screen use without causing “Armageddon” in the home
- Utilize parental control features and software to help keep children safe online
Dads want to keep kids safe, and it has never been more important than now.
