Top Online Safety Tips for Parents and Caregivers
Start an Open Dialogue. Keep talking with your kids about what they do online every day in a curious, not prying, way. Ask open-ended questions like "What's your favorite thing about this app?" so they feel you are interested in their lives. If they know you won't judge them, they will be much more likely to come to you when something goes wrong.

In this lesson, students look at the different ways in which we spend our free time and learn to find balance between active, learning and media activities. They begin by distinguishing between Active, Learning and Screen time, learn how activities can fall into more than one category; and reflect on their lives to see how well screen time is balanced by other types of activities. Finally, students consider how they might improve how their time is balanced.
