22.01.2022 Social media and your tween. The issue of supervising your tween online is a serious one, especially in the primary and middle school years. We have all just h...ad a big reminder of this recently. I am particularly concerned about the vulnerability of 8 - 12 year olds who don't always have the language to process what they see. Most parents I know are faced with decisions about social media or gaming when their son or daughter is very young - usually between ages 8 and 12. For some, the pressure to be online comes much younger than this. Those with older brothers or sisters often get online so early that by the time they are 13 they are well and truly immersed in the online world. When your tween is 10, 11 or even 12 they are relatively easy to manage. It is therefore easy to say ‘yes’ to social media without spending a lot of time thinking about how you will manage it and what restrictions you might put on it. However, put a few years on them and a few more hormones, the desire for a boyfriend or girlfriend, and a few friends you aren’t so keen on... and you may not say ‘yes’ so quickly. Your ‘yes’ may come with a few more conditions; conditions which are hard to administer later if they haven’t been put in place from the beginning. My argument is this. When your tween first comes to you and asks for a phone or a social media account stop and think about it. You might want to be cautious. You might want to think about how to set things up to get through the bumpiest years that may lie ahead. Remember once you give them the phone it is there for life. There is always a lot of discussion about what is the right age to buy your child a phone or allow them access to social media or gaming. My thought is this: there is no magical age that makes a phone safe but the younger they are the more of a gap there is between them and the online adult work. Given the amount of safety software available these days I've come to this conclusion. It is not just about WHEN (the exact age) but HOW. HOW involves a lot of things including understanding the platforms they want to use, and filtering the internet as best you can. HOW is super important! I have put together an ebook for everyone with a little more on this topic. Please feel free to share if it will support someone you know.

13.01.2022 Our research shows 25% of children aged 8-13 years have used the internet to chat to someone they didn’t know. Start a conversation with your child before a st...ranger does. Talk to them about how they can tell whether someone is safe to talk to whether they know them or not.

01.01.2022 All behavior is always telling us something. Children don't always have the language to tell us what they need or what hurts, so they act it out with their behavior... thus... acting-out behavior. " Pam Leo #neurochild #communication #behavior #empathy #teaching

01.01.2022 "They said it would be a million-dollar job". So far all it's cost is a sugar free coke and a very determined grandad. Thank you to Percy's grandad Ian for doing such a great job mowing and manicuring a part of the school grounds, which hasn't been used in a very long time. He is truly a community asset to La Perouse Public School.
