Better Internet for Kids

In this course, the facilitator uses an introductory video to be shown to the group, a turnkey workshop sheet to guide the decrypting, analysis and debate with the young people. A complementary sheet also enables the facilitator to grasp the subject when preparing his/her workshop. The documentary video is an original production by Tralalere based on real hate messages found online.

This course has been designed for use in a school or extracurricular setting and is not intended for independent use by the pupil in autonomy.
For middle school classes / 12 to 16 years old pupils

That guide has been created by Internet Sans Crainte in collaboration with our partner Ceméa. It aims to help parents accompany their teenagers in their digital life with concrete advice to discuss, protect and adopt good reflexes online by addressing 8 themes:

- How can you help your teens protect their personal data on social media?
- How can you help your teens manage their image on social media?
- How can you help your teens spot fake news online?
- How can you protect your teens from offensive content?

Today, screens are everywhere in our daily lives and those of our children: at school, to play, to talk with their friends...
However, heavy use of screens can have an impact on health (fatigue, lack of activity, loss of attention, etc.). It is therefore necessary to learn as early as possible to balance their activities with and without screens.
So how do you teach your child to manage screen time?

Today, screens are with us day and night! In fact, 1/3 of teenagers wake up at night to look at their notifications*. However, numerous studies have shown the harmful effects of screens on sleep.
So how can you help your teenager disconnect at night?

The required age to register on a social network is 13.
It is important for children to understand that they have to wait until they are old enough to join, but that they can prepare for it. So how do you explain to your child that they are not old enough to be on social networks?

Social networks, video games or instant messaging: young people have more and more options to communicate online. It is not always easy to explain to them that they should be careful about what they share and with whom. But how can we teach them to be wary of strangers and protect their privacy online?

Today, digital devices have multiplied: tablets, computers, smartphones, consoles... Children have more and more ways of going on the Internet and may have difficulty regulating their screen time. Setting up a parental control can help support your child in his or her digital life. Why and how to set up parental controls at home?

When adults specifically approach minors on the Internet, this is called "cybergrooming". For example, children and young people are asked to send nude photos or to meet the perpetrators in real life.

How do I recognize cybergrooming?
Where do the attacks take place?
And how can I protect my child from cybergrooming?

In line with the klicksafe booklet "And then he wanted nudes", the family checklist offers an introduction to the topic of cybergrooming (sexual harassment online). Families can use the checklist to talk about warning signs, trusted persons and protective measures to prevent abuse.

Matching the klicksafe booklet "What's my child actually doing on Twitch?", the family checklist offers an entry point into the conversation and playful tasks to reflect together on a meaningful use of Twitch.
