Navigating Children’s Digital Lives with Curiosity and Awareness

Digitalisation has unlocked countless opportunities from cross border friendships and global inspiration to endless entertainment and creative learning. Yet, there’s a darker side too, where risks and violations can occur.

In 2024, ensuring children’s digital safety requires thoughtful navigation and careful steps, because it is normal for kids and teenagers to spend much of their daily lives online, socialising on platforms, exploring games, and finding new ways to learn. It’s a vibrant digital universe full of possibility, but one that also requires thoughtful navigation and careful steps.

Save the Children calls this awareness Digital Education, giving it equal importance to traditional learning.

Save the Children actively champions a safer online world, providing essential support for those who’ve experienced digital violations or abuse. With cases like recent reports of ‘sextortion’ grabbing headlines, it’s understandable why many parents and professionals feel increasingly uncertain about the online environment.

This dynamic is at the heart of the latest episode. Both Lene and Sofus see firsthand the disconnect many parents experience with their children’s digital lives, often stemming from limited understanding or a lack of genuine curiosity. Sofus urges parents to get just as involved online as they would offline, bridging that gap to better support and protect young people.

Listen in as Lene and Sofus offer valuable perspectives and practical advice on fostering healthy digital habits and creating safe online spaces for the next generation.
