Sharing – Don’t look away: Have a conversation about online safety today

This resource seems like something worth sharing. We spend so much time talking about online safety, banning phones until a certain age, or banning social media, and not enough time making sure we prepare kids for the dangers of being online at all. It’s like banning a child from leaving the house without a parent and then sending them to school with no skills for navigating other people on their own. At some point, kids learning about appropriate and inappropriate behavior and having a safe place to talk about it has to be the priority.

Technology is changing childhood. Thorn’s “Don’t Look Away” Conversation Starter Kit helps people talk more openly about child sexual abuse in the digital age.
