Once again, we are making Wednesday our Web-Safe day with the aim of raising awareness of Internet safety issues and how to get help. Some of the guides may suit your children now, or maybe more appropriate in the future. All of the guides can be found on our eSquad school website page for future reference.
This week’s guide is: Moving from policing to parenting your gaming kids: how to engage and guide
The team at National Online Safety suggest ways to engage in the gaming world to see for yourselves. With concerns about escalating screen-time, the impact of violence, unexpected costs and interloping strangers it can be tempting to lock down video games to limit their negative impact. While some sensible boundaries are helpful, they are only a short term solution for how we guide children towards gaming health.
We hope you find this useful.
