All The Skills You Need To Guide Your Children Online

As a digital parenting coach and online safety expert, I’ve just about seen it all. Believe me.

I absolutely love what our digital world has to offer, but I have also had many conversations with parents the last 10 years that could have been avoided if parents had had the right knowledge BEFORE the digital drama occurred.  Conversations such as:

• Helping parents remove photos of their children from social media platforms.  
• Explaining rights and responsibilities of parents after their child was cyberbullied.
• Walking parents through the steps to have in-app purchases removed from credit card statements.
• Referring parents to child psychologists because their toddlers refused to eat without a tablet.
• Providing "Gaming Addiction" resources and referrals.
• Offering conversation starters on online sexuality, sexting and pornography so that parents could engage with their teenagers. 
• And so much more.

Even though, I was able to provide families with resources and quick-fix patches, I realized that digital parenting, is no different than parenting in general - this is a long-term game. 

And that led me to create this toolkit: an all-in-one resource to provide families like yours with a solid foundation to raise your children confidently and safely online. Yes, your children CAN fully embrace the amazing opportunities that the digital world brings while increasing their resilience and ability to deal with challenging scenarios.

How The Toolkit Will Help You and Your Family

Being online can help families stay connected, be entertained, learn, create, play, work and the list goes on!

Unfortunately, digital dramas can creep up in almost any online situation but with the rights tools, parents can diffuse the situation.

Think of it this way: if you have the right knowledge, at the right time, how much more effective will your parenting be?

Simply put, if you set the right parameters, rules and communication early enough, you will have everything that you need to parent in the digital age.

And this is what the toolkit is all about. 

You will learn how to keep your children SAFE online – whether they are navigating the internet, playing video games or interacting on social media.

You will know how to teach your kids to behave RESPONSIBLY online – from knowing how to look for information, to knowing how to interact respectfully with others when online.

You will minimise the tensions and conflicts in your household, as you’ll know how to find the right “screen time” balance.

This all-in-one toolkit contains everything you need to support your children from their early years until they become adults, so you don’t need to spend hours searching for when you need answers.

And an added bonus, is that the toolkit contains reliable information and evidence-based best practices that I gathered for you so you don’t need to agonise over conflicting advice and information out there.
