Internet matters - My Family Digital Toolkit

Being online as a family can open up huge opportunities for learning, entertainment, and staying connected — but it also raises important questions about safety, boundaries, and habits. Do we really know what our children are doing online, who they’re talking to, or what content they’re seeing? And just as we plan for things like homework, bedtime, or screen time, do we have a simple family plan for being online — one that covers privacy, sharing, and how we look out for each other? A few open conversations can make the digital world a safer, more positive space for everyone at home.
