Our children are online more than ever, with some experiencing almost virtual childhoods. Parenting educator Caroline Ellen has produced a free ebook, available here, to help guard our young people's online safety.
We recently hosted Caroline Ellen in our free webinar series where she discussed how to pay close attention to what your kids are doing online, and how to have regular conversations with your child about online safety.
Caroline has now released Virtual Childhoods as a free ebook so every parent, carer and educator can arm themselves with the information to help protect our kids online, and their childhoods.
She writes about the risks our younger kids and teens are facing online, and what we can do about it.
You can download the ebook on the link below.

I’m not going to beat around the bush. I’m not going to hold back or apologise for the discomfort it creates. If we’re not willing to talk about the hard stuff, we certainly won’t be able to start fixing it.
The truth is that our children are up against it at the moment. There’s serious stuff going on behind closed doors…
