We all parent differently but that doesn’t mean we can’t stick together. It makes it a lot easier to say ‘no’ or ‘not yet’ or ‘okay but here are the rules’ if we’ve built a community around us who are saying the same things to their kids. There will always be that one parent who lets their child have a phone a year before everyone else, but that’s life, right?
Okay, time to make a plan. We’ve done some of the hard work for you and created a family agreement for parents and children to print out, sign and stick up at home. Think about your own online use and the example it sets and agree how to use technology as a family in a stronger, smarter and safer way. You’re welcome!
