Everyone understands the challenges parents face in the ever-changing digital world. 

As your family grows up, it's hard supporting them through tricky conversations, digital dilemmas and setting them up safely in a fast moving world. Much of this is new to you and you might feel they know much more than you.

Many internet sites offer support. One you could look at is -

They offer parents guides which are aged related. We hope you will take the time to read the guide which will support your family. Many sites and apps are age restricted and the phone/device bill payer is responsible for all activity and downloads using that device.
