How to Keep Your Teen Safe Online

Boys spend an average of 34 hours each week playing video games, according to a recent report.

Cai’s research, which polled 1,500 British teenage boys, indicated they spend an average of five hours each day playing video games. Parents need to keep an eye out and take proactive steps in protecting their kids online.

Discuss with your teen the kind of content they are seeing online and encourage them to join groups such as Dignify that challenge the normalisation of porn for young people. This movement could make a profound difference in the way children perceive the world.

Anxiously anticipating bedtime can be difficult for teenagers. To assist your teen in unwinding before sleep, try using a white noise machine or playing soft relaxing music to aid in falling asleep quickly and comfortably. Also ensure they eat a nutritious and well-balanced meal prior to going to sleep and encourage light physical exercise before turning in for the night.
