Digital Media
Digital media plays a major role in the lives of nearly all children and teens. The pace that technology advances can be overwhelming to keep up with. While children and teens move seamlessly between virtual and real worlds, they are often better prepared to handle unexpected situations in the real world then they are in the virtual world.
It is important that parents and guardians are engaged in their children's online activities to help guide them and prepare them to make responsible decisions online. Keeping an open dialogue with children and having honest discussions about what children encounter or may encounter online will be important as children learn to navigate their online world.
This page contains many resources to help parents, guardians, and families talk about and develop healthy digital habits, positive behaviors, and understand potential consequences.
