May Online Safety Newsletter

1st May 2024

Is being online affecting your child’s mental health?

There are many positives to being online, but we do need to be aware of the negative aspects, including those that may impact our child’s mental health and wellbeing, for example:

• Social media (spending too much time on social media, comparing ourselves to others, filtered images and desire to achieve likes).

• Cyberbullying

• Seeing inappropriate content

• Constantly connected/information overload

• Excessive screentime

• Negative impact on our sleep

This month's newsletter will provide information on what signs to look out for regarding digital addiction and where to get further support if necessary.
