Digital Wellness

"You play a crucial role in empowering and supporting children and young people to use digital technologies responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively. Indeed, parental influence, guidance and education have a significant and long-lasting impact on children's safety and wellbeing in the online world."

Quoted from "Are you a parent or carer?" https://www.saferinternetday.org/en-US/
