Sharing Molly’s Story – For Parents
This guide supports parents to talk safely and confidently with their children about Molly’s story and the issues it raises about harmful online content. It explains how to explore digital wellbeing together as a family, how to open gentle conversations about what young people see online and how apps shape their feeds. It also offers simple ways to help children recognise when content is affecting their mood and what to do when something feels worrying.
The resource includes age appropriate versions of Molly’s story, practical prompts for family discussion and clear guidance on where to turn for support. It is designed to help parents create open, reassuring conversations that support young people to feel understood, protected and confident asking for help when they need it.
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.
