During Dr Mary O’Kane’s most recent webinar, Helping Children Manage Anxiety, she highlighted the unique closeness childminders have with the children they mind, especially in relation to their exposure to the online world. This valuable insight has inspired our next session with Mary:

Webinar Title:  Children and the Online World

Raising children in today’s fast-paced, high-tech world can be challenging. With the growing use of tablets, smartphones, and social media, new questions and concerns arise every day. It is essential that childminders understand these digital challenges to support children effectively.

In this webinar, Mary will explore the latest research on the impact of technology on children – focusing on online contact, content, and conduct. She will discuss important issues such as:

• How much screen time is too much?
• What are the effects of online engagement on children’s wellbeing?
• How can we help children not just survive but thrive online?
