Tech Tips for Families: Discovering Digital at Primary School
Children in primary school are navigating a digital world from an early age. Whether they’re using tablets or watching YouTube, it’s important to build safe habits early. Internet Matters’ “Discovering Digital at Primary School” guide offers helpful advice to support young learners as they explore online:
Know what they’re doing online – From tablets to games and YouTube, be curious and ask them to show you their favorite activities.
Talk about risks – Help them understand why some content isn’t appropriate, how oversharing can be risky, and what cyberbullying looks like.
Manage screen time – Create healthy habits by setting time limits and balancing online with offline play.
Use parental controls – Schools use filters; use similar tools at home to help block adult or age-inappropriate content.
Keep communication open – Use stories and questions to start conversations, make shared decisions about what's okay to do online, and let kids know it’s always safe to talk if something goes wrong.
