Online Safety
Lots of children today are exposed or using online games and apps. Therefore it is extremely important we understand the new safety features that keep our children safe while interacting with others.
Moving forward, I will be sharing information regarding different apps, their safety features and also setting up parent controls. It's important to chat to our children about the importance of online safety.
