We want to mitigate against those risks as much as possible by equipping kids with these skills, but also their parents and carers and educators.
Have you ever worried about your child's safety in the digital world? This episode of 'The Two Norries' brings you a conversation that every parent needs to hear. Hosts James Leonard and Timmy Long sit down with Alex and Georgie Cooney from CyberSafeKids to unpack the critical issue of cybersecurity for children. With the internet being a playground for both fun and potential hazards, this discussion is more relevant than ever.
Alex and Georgie dive into the various risks kids face online, from harmful content to predatory individuals, and offer practical advice on how parents can shield their children from these dangers. They also touch on the role of educators in fostering a safe online environment and the pressing need for stronger laws to hold social media and gaming companies accountable.
Sexting, a topic many find difficult to address, is also discussed with sensitivity and clarity, providing guidance on how to talk to kids about it. The episode doesn't just focus on the problems; it also highlights the importance of empowering children to be 'upstanders'—those who stand up against bullying and other negative behaviors online.
By setting boundaries and teaching kids to navigate the digital landscape safely, Alex and Georgie offer a roadmap for creating a safer online world for our youngest users. Tune in for a blend of expert advice, real-world examples, and actionable tips that will leave you feeling more equipped to protect your children in cyberspace.
