1 Explain the benefits

Explaining to parents the benefits of digital citizenship for their children's learning and development can help them understand how it can help their children access and evaluate information from diverse sources, create and share original and respectful content, communicate and collaborate with others across cultures and perspectives, protect their personal data and respect others' privacy, recognize and respond to cyberbullying and other online risks, and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Firstly, parents should emphasize the importance of open communication. By creating a safe and non-judgmental environment, children will feel comfortable discussing any concerns or issues they may encounter online. This will foster trust between parents and children and encourage ongoing dialogue about digital citizenship. Secondly, parents can lead by example. Children often learn by observing their parents' behavior. Therefore, it is crucial for parents to model responsible digital habits themselves. This includes setting boundaries on screen time, practicing good online etiquette, and being mindful of privacy settings.

Digital citizenship is an essential component of living in a first world environment. Encouraging children to develop digital citizenship under your advice. As I write this I am on an island where digital citizenship must start with the island provision of digital services. Though, most everyone lives with multiple communication services and incurs various time waster, spam and illegal activities Some suggestions are: 1. Ask your children to show you websites, emails , texts etc. they do not understand. Don’t criticise Point out the issue with them and delete 2.Tax departments do not send recorded messages, no one is attacking your bank account unless you allow them. You might develop a list to help children on their digital journey.

It all starts with the interest for interaction outside of the bubble. A child has to create bonds with family and close people, like neighbors, then school buddies, a swimming class friend and the like. Eventually, they'll realize that play is one thing, and talking about stuff that they often think about is another. They want to explore more. In my observations, I feel like there's a lot of work to be done to prepare the 13 year old, for example, to navigate the web and meet people. It is, definitely, the role of parents to instruct and monitor that as best as they can, but denying the school professionals to participate in this debate is a mistake we can't afford to make. Materials need to be discussed on the first networking moments.

2 Share the resources

Parents may not be aware of the reliable and relevant resources to support their children's digital citizenship education. You can share with them the resources used in your school, such as curriculum guides and lesson plans from reputable organizations, online tools and platforms that foster digital citizenship skills and values, books, videos, podcasts, and blogs that explore digital citizenship topics and stories, as well as events and activities that celebrate digital citizenship like Digital Citizenship Week or Safer Internet Day.

3 Invite the participation

Parents may not feel confident or comfortable discussing digital citizenship with their children. Encourage them to take part in your school's digital citizenship initiatives, such as joining a parent-teacher committee or group, attending a workshop or webinar, volunteering for a project or campaign, and providing feedback and suggestions on policies and practices. Additionally, parents can model digital citizenship behaviors and attitudes at home.

This could include providing tips and strategies to start and maintain a dialogue on digital citizenship, addressing common myths and misconceptions, sharing examples and scenarios of digital citizenship dilemmas and solutions, referring them to professional or community resources if needed, and encouraging them to seek your advice or assistance if they have any questions or issues.

5 Celebrate the achievements

Parents may not be aware of the progress and success their children have achieved in digital citizenship, so it is important to celebrate these accomplishments with them. You can do this by providing positive feedback and recognition, showcasing their digital citizenship projects and portfolios, inviting them to a digital citizenship showcase or awards ceremony, thanking them for their involvement, and congratulating them for being role models. By following these tips, you can not only encourage parents to discuss digital citizenship with their children but also strengthen your school-family partnership on this essential topic.
