How to talk so kids will listen & listen so kids will talk
Parenting is relentless, and with so many resources and voices, it's hard to know what to try or who or what to listen to.
This is a book that was recommended to me 6 years ago and it has stood the test of time being first published in 1980. I have been listening to recently as an audio book. It seems to understand with empathy the everyday challenges and has a range of timeless, practical approaches.
Here is a link to the book if you want to read / listen to it.

Cybersafety
Young people today are growing up in an increasingly connected world where technology is part of their everyday lives –– for learning, socialising, and entertainment. While the digital world offers enormous benefits, it also comes with serious risks. From cyberbullying and online predators to inappropriate content and screen time concerns, navigating the online environment can be challenging for young people and their families.
Cybersafety is not just about blocking access –– it's about empowering young people with the knowledge and skills they need to use technology responsibly and safely. This includes understanding privacy settings, recognising scams, and developing healthy digital habits. At the same time, it's important for parents and caregivers to stay informed, have open and judgement-free conversations with their children, and lead by example through positive online behaviour.
In today's digital age, safeguarding a child's wellbeing must also include protecting their online life. This edition of SchoolTV will help you better understand the digital landscape your child is navigating and offer practical strategies to help them stay safe, confident and in control online.
