What is your child up to on-line?

Do you know what your child is doing on-line?

 

Signs to watch out for.

Children

• become very secretive, especially about what they are doing online
• are spending a lot of time on the internet and social media
• are switching screens on their device when you approach
• are angry or withdrawn after using the internet or sending messages
• have lots of new phone numbers or email addresses on their devices
