Primary – Digital Wellbeing
This lesson helps young people explore the feelings that can come up when they meet new or unexpected content online. Through simple, engaging activities, they will learn how to notice when their online experiences feel positive and safe, and how to recognise early signs that something is not right.
Young people will also discover practical actions that support their digital wellbeing. This includes knowing when to pause, when to change what they are doing, and when it is time to speak with a trusted and safe adult. The session encourages confidence, calm reflection and a stronger sense of control in a busy online world.
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 guide helps parents and carers understand how algorithms influence what children see online, while offering practical steps and conversation prompts to keep them safe, informed, and in control of their digital experiences.
