Top Tips for Parents:
- Talk together about the time you spend online. Work together with your kids to decide how you will use your devices for good.
- Agree on a routine and appropriate length of time you both can be online.
- Put in place a family agreement to set the boundaries – don’t break them!
- Use technology and apps like BT’s Whole Home Wi-Fi to manage screen time and Wi-Fi access, especially at bedtimes.
- Get the whole family to unplug and create ‘screen-free zones.’
- Set a good example with your own device use.
