Part 1 - Do as I Say Not as I Do: Digital Citizenship at Home

Part 2 - 3 Tips to Help You Teach Digital Citizenship to Your Kids

Always remember that you are the parent. You have the authority to make all final decisions about how your children use social media and technology. Navigating the digital world is an opportunity to grow with your kids and be a part of their learning through your engagement with them.
