8The padlock is to remind our
children to set strong passwords
and to set up passcode locks on
all of their digital devices. "Lock
'em down" as we like to say in
our Digital Citizenship lessons.

Say to your child, imagine having the mirror attached to your computer/device. If you looked in it and saw someone in the reflection, would they approve of what you are doing or saying online?

Take a sheet of paper and
hand it to your child
instructing them to wad it up
into a ball. Tell your child
to throw it on the
ground....stomp on it. Have
your child pick up the piece
of paper and unravel it.

Tell your child that ruined the piece
of paper to apologize to the piece of
paper for destroying it. Tell your
child that the piece of paper
represents someones heart that has
been cyberbullied. We can apologize
all we want, but the emotional scars
that remain inside DON'T go away.

14Stress to your child that it is
okay to "unplug" (unplug as
you are discussing). We
don't have to be connected
all the time! Get outside and be a kid!

8 Tips to keep on top of your child’s screen time ▹ Lead by example - reduce your own screen time.
▹ Agree on daily screen time limits. It’s not about punishment, it’s about keeping a balance.
▹ Start with small reductions to help lessen any resistance.
▹ Resist giving mobile devices to children when going out – take books or toys instead.
▹ Set tech-free zones and times at home – e.g. all screens off in bedrooms after a specified time.
▹ Use tech tools to manage access, such as parental controls.
▹ Be involved – watch TV and play games together.
▹ Plan screen-free time, like outdoor play, music and sport.

The amount of information on the internet
is amazing! As digital citizens, your
children have to be good at "straining" out
the bad stuff, what is real, what's not and
finding material that is applicable to their search/use of the internet.

18A tattoo is permanent, much like the information we post online. The photos we share, the comments we write, the videos we 'like'. Even if we delete them, they may still be out there – saved and shared by others, or even kept by the site or app itself.

Too many times children are
messaging, posting, tweeting,
retweeting, snapping information
that is NOT appropriate. Remind
your child to keep it clean!

20▹ Tell your child to imagine all of
the things they do while
online. Now imagine if it were
kept in a journal. Would they be
comfortable if anyone could read that journal?
NOTEBOOK
21Our children are going to make
mistakes. The mistakes kids make
today will be
GOOGLEABLE. Hopefully their
mistakes won't be too big. If a
Band Aid won't help, then we have
a problem!

Imagine the information that you
are putting online is like the
toothpaste coming out of the
tube. Once it is out, it is almost
impossible to get it all back in the
tube!
