🔶 Is your child using/ asking for Discord?

📱 Discord is a platform I would strongly recommend you look into prior to allowing access.

➰ Malware, bullying and grooming are just some of the issues that your child can encounter within it and so it is vital that you as a parent know in advance how it works and how to help and support your child navigate the app appropriately.

👩🏼‍💻 If this is something you would like to discuss in more detail please get in touch. For specific information on certain apps I also offer phone consults. I would highly recommend speaking with me or with another professional about this platform prior to allowing access.

🧡 This week marks Anti- Bullying Week 2025.

📆 It’s a week that will always hold a special place in my heart after 5 years working in the anti- bullying field. I’ve actually been surprised to see so much less traction on it this year across social media platforms and have wondered why that is?

📱 As use of devices grows so too does bullying behaviour. It is therefore so important to raise awareness of the work being done to support those who have experienced bullying both online and offline.

💪🏻 Please support charities and organizations promoting it this week and share on their work to raise awareness.

🙋🏼‍♀️I had so many queries after I shared an instagram story on the subject of ‘stickers’ that I felt it was worth a post in its own right.

🔶 Stickers come up a lot in my client work. And their use is only increasing. As Parents they are definitely worth having an awareness of so that you can keep an eye out for potential issues.

👩🏼‍💻 Any questions please feel free to get in touch direct.

📹 Viral content moves fast and it can be hard to keep up with.

🤳🏻 Even when our children don’t have access to devices or to apps where this content can be shared the chances are they will have peers that do and so it’s important to know how to manage these situations with your children.

🔸Once something is seen it cannot be unseen and can go on to cause issues in other offline areas of life.

☑️ Do they know it’s ok to say they don’t want to watch something if a peer tries to show them? This can be tricky for all children- even if you believe your child to be confident they can often be the ones that struggle the most to say no. Role play it if necessary in order to help them feel comfortable with their words.

📱Use settings available on your devices to block certain content from automatically displaying if they are sent it.

🔎 Curiosity can sometimes send them searching for content once they hear about a viral video. Discuss with them how they may feel once they have watched it- real life is very different to gaming videos but it can sometimes be hard for kids to differentiate when it comes to online content. If they have searched for something worrying clear the cachés so the algorithm isn’t fed further by the search.

👀 Above all else keep an eye on what your children are accessing online and talk to them about what they are seeing and what they could potentially see. Make sure they know they won’t be in trouble if they tell you they have viewed something they know they shouldn’t have. What matters most is they tell you what they have seen.

📱One of the topics I discuss with young people I work with is HOW they use the online world. All too often they forget the impact the choices they make can have on themselves and the impact they can have on others. Their choices matter. So it’s important to help them make informed choices about their time online.

➡️ Some very simple suggestions you could make for how they can use their time online in a positive manner this summer :

🔶 When you see something happening online that you aren’t happy with - report it. Don’t just stand by and watch simply because it isn’t directed at you.

🤳🏻 Instead of passively scrolling say something positive and make a difference during your time online.

✨ Send a compliment to a friend telling them how much they mean to you.

☺️ Post something yourself that may uplift or support another.

🧡 Be Brave. Choose Compassion. Do it YOUR way.

🤳🏻 ‘It’s not a fair fight’

🎥 I felt very privileged to be invited to the UK premiere of ‘Can’t Look Away’ this evening. The film highlights the impact of unfettered online access on our children and young people.

👀 It truly is a must watch for any parent.

🔶 Whilst the content is heavy it was so incredibly powerful to watch.

👩🏼‍💻 Please don’t just ‘look away and hope’ any issues go away on their own. The only way to manage online access is by involving yourself in these spaces. What this film highlighted so well was how quickly things can change. This is something that goes unrecognized by so many parents.

🧡 A busy day with some networking built in too to lighten a heavy subject area.
