Raising Digitally Resilient Kids

The Raising Digitally Resilient Kids workshop, ready to share with parent-based school councils, outlines how parents and guardians can support children’s well-being and help them balance the risks and benefits of digital media.

Based on insights from MediaSmarts’ research with youth through the Young Canadians in a Wireless World study, the workshop provides an overview of online risk categories and provides resources and essential strategies that participants can take to manage these risks. This self-guided workshop is sponsored by YouTube Canada.
