Family Tip #4 (Elementary): Develop their instincts
Help kids trust their guts so they can exit iffy or inappropriate online conversations. Discuss different scenarios and ask how they would feel and what they would do.
Family Tip #3 (Elementary): Help kids navigate online friendships
In the beginning, you might limit all communication with strangers online. As kids get older, you can monitor any online chatting. And once they're more independent, you can discuss which methods of communication are appropriate as well as which types of information to keep private from online-only friends.
Today the students of Olympia North rendered the staff speechless. Together our student body raised nearly $2900 for St. Jude. Combined with Olympia West and Olympia South a grand total of $4639 will be donated. On behalf of the St. Jude Olympia to Peoria Run Team THANK YOU!
Family Tip #2 (Elementary): Play a game of telephone
Discuss how a message can change depending on the person delivering it or the delivery method. Read a question like "What are you doing?" with different tones of voice. Talk about how emoji and punctuation can help communicate tone and emotion in text messages.
Games, social media, and other online spaces give kids opportunities to meet and chat with others outside the confines of their real-life communities. But how well do kids actually know the people they're meeting and interacting with? Help students consider whom they're talking to and the types of information they're sharing online.
In this video, kids hear from teens about the benefits and drawbacks of presenting themselves differently (or even anonymously) to others online, and consider what it means to "be yourself" in digital spaces.
