The Online Safety Checklist, by age
Every age needs a different conversation. What keeps a four-year-old safe is not what keeps a fourteen-year-old safe — and trying to use one rule for both is where most of us come unstuck.
So I've broken it down into four stages, with the six things that actually matter at each one. For every item you get the what and the why — in plain English, backed by the people who study this for a living (the eSafety Commissioner, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization and Common Sense Media).
This is the part you can start today, for free. Pop in your email and I'll send you the full checklist to keep.
