Important Internet Skills for Parents and Children: Protection Against Online Dangers
The Safer Internet Centre for Digital Child Protection emphasises the critical need to educate parents and children about online dangers. In Austria, where a significant number of children and adolescents have faced online harassment or violence, there’s a clear urgency for digital literacy and safety measures. The centre provides various training sessions and workshops targeting professionals, parents, and children to address challenges like cyber grooming, sexting, and media education. These initiatives aim to prevent risks and empower both parents and children to navigate the digital world safely. By enhancing understanding of online threats and fostering open communication, parents can effectively protect their children. These efforts not only teach technical safeguards but also promote safe internet practices and empower families to discuss and manage online experiences confidently. Ultimately, promoting digital awareness enhances children’s safety and empowers responsible online behaviour, making a significant impact on parental awareness of social media skills and internet safety.
