📱My emails and DM’s have exploded this morning in light of the headlines about a social media ban for children in the UK.
🔶 I’m seeing a mix of emotions from parents, which I can totally understand. Particularly, I’m seeing those with older children, who already have access, are anxious for what this may mean. I think now more than ever is the time to all pull together as parents and work as a team to ensure that this new landscape works for all our children.
🌎 However this ends up playing out - it does not mean they will not have access to the online world and so now as much as ever before you need to understand their world, have open and honest conversations about what the future looks like and be interested in their online spaces. That has not changed. The most important thing is that our children feel they can talk to us about what they are doing online. They won’t do that if they feel they will get in trouble if they do.
👩🏼💻 As always, if you are anxious or struggling please get in touch. I’m currently ploughing my way through a lot of messages - but I will get back to you!
