Are you concerned about how much time your child is spending on online and what they are accessing? Do you feel out of your depth keeping up with the latest apps and technology? Whilst digital technology allows for many social, emotional and educational benefits, it can impact a young person's mental wellbeing in a detrimental way. The digital landscape is ever-changing with growing numbers of children and young people avid users of multiple online platforms. This book will guide the reader through an A-Z of digital mental health, from gaming, networking, and social media to awareness of fake news, misogyny, and trolling. It provides tips and activities to help encourage further discussions, ways to approach difficult conversations and promote positive and safe relationships with digital technology.
