Create a family media agreement.
Have you considered creating a family media agreement?
This could be as simple as agreeing on tech free zones such as the car, mealtimes and the bedroom or agreeing on screen-free time (as suggested by the children in their 10 Steps to Mental Health!) You could also involve areas such as what to do if you feel unsafe; which games and apps are ok to use in your family and what information is ok to share online. Clear and consistent guidelines can help all of the family to use the Internet safely.
