Is My Child Doing Okay Online? Spotting the signs and supporting their mental wellbeing

Are you concerned about how your child’s online encounters affect their mental wellbeing, but not sure how to bring it up?

Children today navigate a complex online world – one where cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and other online harms can affect their mental and emotional health. This session equips parents with practical strategies to support their child's digital interactions and protect their mental wellbeing, from understanding the risks they may face online, recognising early warning signs to knowing when to seek professional help.

What we'll cover

• Your child's digital landscape: where children spend time online and what kind of risks they might encounter
• Signs of distress: changes in sleep, mood, or willingness to engage
• Conversations that work: how to listen without starting an argument, using approaches that help children feel heard
• Practical strategies: actions to take at home support healthy digital habits and guidance on when to seek professional help

This session is brought to you by Digital for Life, in collaboration with Cyberlite.
