Here are a few suggestions to help ensure their online safety and well-being:

1. Regular Conversations: Talk to your child about their online activities. Ask them who they are communicating with and what platforms they are using.
2. Set Boundaries: Establish clear rules about mobile phone use, including appropriate times and places for using their devices.
3. Monitor Activity: Periodically review your child's messages and social media interactions. This can help you identify any potential issues early on.
4. Encourage Kindness: Remind your child of the importance of being kind and respectful online, just as they would be in person.
5. Report Concerns: If you notice any concerning behavior or messages, please report them to the school so we can address the issue promptly.
