Digi-Parenting- What is it?
Digi Parenting is the safe and responsible supervision of information and communication technology.
It is about supporting your child to keep information secure, but also about being responsible with that information, being respectful of other people online and using good
internet etiquette.
Parents/Whanau as PARTNERS in their Child’s 1-1 Device
➔ �The difference Parents / Whanau make – guidelines
➔ �Involving ALL Parents / Whanau – TPI being proactive in supporting parents who have not grown up with technology

In SummaryBeing a digi-parent doesn’t have to mean being a
digital expert.Just being aware of what’s going on, and being
prepared with a few up-front rules can go a long way towards making the most of life with your kids in our
amazing new world.
Technology can help your family stay connected.
From messaging the grandparents overseas to texting to say netball practice is finished, technology has transformed and simplified connecting with family.Digital technology is now firmly woven into the fabric of modern family life. While it can feel challenging to get your head around it at first, with a bit of practice, patience and simply working to the same principles as your usual parenting style you can get ahead with it!
Learning is FunThis generation could become the smartest yet. After all, they have all the information in the world literally at their fingertips.And they’ll be using it in exciting new ways.
According to a US study*, 65% of today’s primary school kids will end up in jobs that haven’t been invented yet. While we can only imagine what these jobs might be, it’s a pretty safe bet they’ll be technology based. Its simple to stay involved so you can be part of their future.
How Can I keep my Kids Safe Online?
When it comes to online safety, it helps to imagine the online world as a bigger version of the real world. Just like in a big city, there are good places and not so good places. It’s pretty simple and a little common sense goes a long way!
Digi-Savvy parents teach their kids the same rules online as they do in real life: avoid strangers, don’t give out personal information, and talk to a trusted adult if you see anything that makes you uncomfortable.
Being a Digital Citizen in TPI is…...
...protecting my password
….being responsible
…..accepting that Technology is part of the 21st Century LearningPart of our everyday lives.
….not accessing any type of Chat Room
….not giving anyone any personal information about myself
...reporting to a teacher if I come across any problem
...reporting to a teacher if I do not feel safe
Tips to Beat Bullying�Talk to your child regularly about their online friendships as well as their offline friendships.
�Reassure them that they can come to you if they have any concerns about people being mean to them online.
�Bear in mind that what you as an adult, might consider to be bullying might simply be seen as gossip or “drama” to your child – be sensitive to how they want to handle matters.
�Look out for behaviour changes that could be a sign that your son or daughter is being bullied or is bullying someone else. Look out for kids getting upset when online or TXTing, or for a reluctance to go to school.
How Much Screen Time?Screen time is really important to young people. After all, it’s a huge part of their social life. Just as kids of the 1970s and 80s would spend hours hogging the family landline, kids of today are spending that time chatting online.
Screen time must be balanced alongside the usage during learning time at school.
But being a digi-savvy parent means having a chat about screen time, and setting a few expectations and boundaries.
