Resources for helping your kids navigate the Digital World
10 things you can do to help your child (from Common Sense Media):
- Model good behavior. If we’re on our Blackberries or iPhones at dinner, why will our kids listen to us when we tell them to turn theirs off?
- Pay attention. We have to know where our kids are going online -- and what they’re doing there.
- Impart our values. Cheating, lying, being cruel -- they’re just not OK. Right and wrong extends to online and mobile life.
- Establish limits. Phone time, video download time, destinations. There really is a right time and place for everything.
- Encourage balance. Get kids involved in offline activities, especially activities that don’t require or allow cell service.
- Make kids accountable. Using digital media is a privilege. Make sure your kids earn it.
- Explain what’s at stake. Remind your kids that what they do today can be abused by someone tomorrow.
- Find ways to say “yes.” This means that you have to do some homework and know the sites your children visit, the songs they download, etc. -- and find ways to use technology that lets us say “yes” more often than we say “no.”
- It’s not rocket science. Learn to text, send a mobile photo, set up a Facebook page, upload a video. Or have your kids show you how. It’s impossible to guide what you don’t understand. Not only that, but think of all the anxiety you can avoid by knowing how things work.
- Lighten up, embrace their world, and enjoy the possibilities together. None of us want digital divides in our relationships with our kids. It’s up to us to learn something new, join the fun, and help our kids make the most of digital technologies.
