5 tips for parents in the digital age

Let's face it, these days it is a lot easier to keep up with the kardashians than technology

1.Be a responsible(and role model) digital citizen

In a nutshell this means exercising proper behaviour with regards to using technology

2.Youtube is for learning

Ensure that you set up a profile and save educational, fun and interesting videos that stand out for you

3.Model a positive social media presence

What happens in vegas stays in vegas? Right? Wrong! It now stays online and what you post (even for a minute) is always public and permanent as it takes seconds to reach people. Ensure that you monitor your profile often.

4.Become a mindful and skilled online searcher

To ensure a safe online journey for you and your family

5.Be open to learning from your child

You can try and deny it all you want but children these days are tech-savvy and always allow your child to teach you a thing or two and engage what you learn from your child and their technology usage.
