ABOUT
Are you parenting a digital native in a world you didn’t grow up in? Perhaps your son plays Fortnite or watches YouTube clips?
Perhaps your daughter adores TikTok or Instagram?
If online predators freak you out, and you are battling to manage your child’s screen time, you have to attend this event!
On Thursday evening, 5 May, at 17:30, Union High School is hosting a parents' evening facilitated by Estee Cockcroft, a personal development, digital life skills & reputation management coach of Gqeberha-based Screen Smarts.
In an endeavour to improve the entire digital landscape of the Union and Graaff-Reinet community for our kids, the event will be open to any and all parents interested in attending.
Topics that will be covered with parents include:
• A parent's role: Monitoring & Mentoring
• Harmful content
• Pornography & addiction
• Online predators
• Filtering software
• Safe Gaming
• Social Media
• Sexting & Cyberbullying
• Setting boundaries & digital citizenship
• Being a digital role model
The evening forms part of a Digital Citizenship Week that will be held at Union from 3 to 6 May, where learners will be engaged in a 4-day long interactive, fun, learning experience, during which they will be coached in managing screen time, digital life skills, cyber safety and everything else a netizen needs to know to make smart choices in cyberspace.
We want to leave the digital landscape a better place for the netizens of tomorrow and we are so excited to be work with Screen Smarts in achieving just this!
