Top tips for phones or tablets over the holidays

• Set boundaries
  Our advice is to set some ground rules, and ensure they understand them. For example:
• Apply Screen Time Limits
  Agree a time limit or number of games beforehand, to avoid repeated disagreements around how long they can spend online.
• Sleep comes first
  We advise that phones or tablets stay out of the bedroom overnight to charge. This avoids those nighttime distractions.
• Ask for access 
  If you’re concerned about something happening or want to take a look at the games and apps they are on, ask them to allow you access to the phone.
• Monitoring vs having a conversation
  It is possible to install software onto devices that monitors online activity on devices. This type of software is becoming increasingly popular, but while this might sound tempting, it does pose a number of issues around your child’s right to privacy. Instead, why not have a conversation about the types of things they are doing online, and create a family agreement to set out expected behaviour.
