Concerned about Screen Time
This guide gives families practical and realistic ways to build healthier screen use together. It explains why not all screen time is the same and helps you understand what your child does online, how it makes them feel and what might be shaping their habits.
You will also find advice on the design features that can keep us all online for longer, like notifications, autoplay and recommendations, with practical steps to explore settings and reduce their impact. The guide supports parents to be positive role models and to bring in changes gradually, creating healthier habits that feel achievable and supportive rather than strict or overwhelming.
Designed for use in lessons, group discussions or one to one conversations, these short videos explore a range of topics, from the influence of algorithmically recommended content and social media feeds to the role online spaces can play in shaping how we think, feel and see the world around us.
This guide supports parents, carers and trusted adults to move beyond asking young people what they do online and instead explore who and what is influencing their thoughts, feelings, choices and behaviour.
This resource gives tips and guidance on how to have an open and constructive conversation with children and young people about the social media ban.
