Summer tips guide for parents

The Summer Tips Guide for Parents provides practical advice on managing children’s online use during the summer holidays, when the absence of school routines often leads to increased screen time. It highlights the importance of safe access and supervision for younger children, encouraging alternative creative and physical activities, as well as the selection of age-appropriate games and apps. For teenagers, the guide stresses open communication and negotiation around online time, mindful use of social media, and building trust so that they feel comfortable seeking help. It also outlines strategies for all age groups, including active parental involvement in children’s digital lives, creating a family “digital agreement,” setting a positive example as parents, establishing flexible yet clear boundaries, and prioritising quality over quantity in digital content.
