Supporting Healthy Computer Use at Home
As our tamariki spend more time online for learning and fun, it's important we work together to support healthy computer use at home. Here are a few simple ways you can help:
- Time: Set clear limits for screen time e.g., no devices before school, during meals, or after a certain time at night.
- Safety: Keep devices in shared spaces so it's easier to check what your child is doing online.
- Appropriateness: Talk with your child about what websites, games, and videos are okay and check in regularly. Roadblox for example, seems harmless, but content can be inappropriate.
- Use parental controls and logins to manage
Your support at home helps reinforce the values we’re teaching at school. Ngā mihi for all you do to keep our tamariki safe and balanced.
