What is the best way to reach children? Through their parents and teachers of course! You can feel confident that by using the tools provided here, you will help your children make smart digital decisions.Given all of the dangers inherent in a digital world, it may be tempting to ban your children from games and social media. No engaging means no trouble, right? But that is not a reality in today's world, where all kids want to do (even toddlers!) is play games on your phone or tablet and social media is a key way tweens and teens socialize and spend their time.Instead of saying no to each request, use each new app, game, or social media request as a teachable moment with your child.Like it or not, you are parenting Digital Natives, young people born into a world that is, if not defined by tech, then certainly surrounded by technology in ever-evolving ways. This means, you are a Digital Parent.From the Savvy Cyber Kids point-of-view we--parents, grandparents, educators and any adult who cares for a young person--have a responsibility to raise cyber aware kids. Their safety, if not their lives, depends on it. And their reputation and their ability to not make negative decisions that will impact the rest of their lives depends on it, too.
