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.

A guide for parents of children ages 5 to 10, advising them about harmful content on the internet.

How is Twitch used by children and young people? What opportunities can the platform offer? What dangers should parents be aware of? And what is an emote?

The guide helps teachers understand what internet addiction is and what its effects are and find solutions to address the issue with children at risk
