16.01.2022 Does your child talk to you if they are scared by something online? The Play School toys are joining us to help your family make some rules for online safety at... home. Big Ted knows that if he sees or hears something that makes him feel sad, scared or worried online he needs to ask a grown-up for help. It is important children know they will never get in trouble for asking for help. Use the Family Tech Agreement to help set rules around asking an adult for help: https://bit.ly/2tbZoA2 __________ ABC Australia #ABCkids ABC Kids Community See more
