The Media Council for Children and Young People has developed a new material for parent-teacher meetings in elementary schools (1th-3th grade) in Denmark. The material focuses on screen use and agreements between parents in school classes.
The goal of the material is to inform about and urge parents and caregivers to discuss children’s screen use from a common starting point. This may provide the best opportunities for parents and caregivers to find some common ground on such themes as the appropriate age for children to have their first (smart)phone and whether digital activities should be a part of play dates.
The material consists of an introduction video, a guide for teachers, questions for discussion, an agreement template and draft messages for teachers to send out to parents before and after the meeting.
