How can you help children stay safe and be responsible online?

It’s easy: tell them a story and let them discuss the situation.

Reading and discussing stories will give your students responsibility and encourage them to solve problems. Even for young learners, thinking about problems not only protects them at that moment but it is also crucial preventive work for their teen years. By reading and working through the stories, you will be helping students develop independent analytical thinking but also empathy as they ponder what the main characters are going through. Students will involve themselves in realistic stories on an emotional level as well as discussing friendships and the way we treat others. We want to help children learn that citizenship is both on- and offline and that their online personality should match their offline one. We want them to understand when to ask an adult, how to say no, and how to communicate respectfully with one another and how to be a respectful digital citizen.
