Why might this be relevant?
Children in the same class often use different apps and have different rules at home. A shared starting point makes it easier to talk — without it being about surveillance. It is not about everyone doing the same thing, but about understanding what children actually encounter online every day.
Use this kit when…
- Before a parents’ meeting about digital habits — so parents have something concrete to take home
- When group chats or gaming are a big topic in class and you want to give parents shared language
- As preventive information at the start of the school year, before conflicts arise
- When you want to give parents shared language — not one universal rule, but a place to start
What parents should know
- Children use apps and games differently — it is not just about screen time. The same game can be social for one child and lonely for another.
- Group chats can be social and fun, but also where conflicts arise. That is normal — what matters is that your child knows who they can talk to.
- Gaming is often social — not just “screen time”. Friends meet in games, and it can matter as much as offline activities.
- Privacy is about who can contact your child — not just secrets. Open settings can mean strangers can message them.
- A calm conversation at home works better than sudden monitoring. Ask before you check — it builds trust.
Talk about it at home
- “Which apps do you use most right now — and what do you do there? Tell me what you enjoy about them.”
- “What happens if someone writes something nasty in a group chat? Who would you tell?”
- “Who can message you that you do not know in real life? Is there anyone you have blocked?”
- “What do you do if something online feels wrong? Who can you always talk to — including at home?”
