??MPs Lola McEvoy and Alistair Strathern are clear: we need Ofcom's Children Code to be more ambitious. As we await the final Code's publication in the Spring, MPs are calling on Ofcom to rethink its approach to the Children's Code. Gaps around implementation, the failure to address high-risk design features and small-but-risky services cannot persist if Ofcom is to deliver on its promise of a “reset for children’s safety online”. ??Here's what Ofcom must do before the Code is published: https://lnkd.in/eBfJVNgB #Ofcom #OnlineHarm #Parliament #ChildrensCode

After my last post, I've heard concerns about the lack of map-reading and navigation skills without technology; it's time to address this issue. I found a user-friendly site for young children aged 2-8 to develop these essential skills. Stay tuned for more resources for all age groups. Friday tip - Challenge your child to memorize important contact information without relying on phones. (Ask them to tell you the phone numbers of important adults in their lives without a device - you might be surprised that they may not know this information.) Let's empower the next generation with vital life skills beyond technology. https://lnkd.in/eeCKCJne #Parenting #LifeSkills #NavigationSkills #ChildDevelopment

This is an article I wrote for my blog Moving to Learn describing how in the absence of an attentive parent or teacher, children by default are forming unhealthy attachments to screens.

Not All Boundaries are Equal Are we letting children down if we don’t impose consequences every time, leaving them without boundaries and unable to learn? No, and here’s why not. Boundaries are indeed important for children. They need to be kept safe, and to know that they are safe. They need to know that the adults around them will respond appropriately and will stop them from hurting others or from being hurt. Some boundaries are about what the wider community needs, and it’s important that children learn that others have their own boundaries. They need to learn that the adults around them can tolerate their emotions, and that the adults will still be there for them, even when their behaviour is unacceptable. They need to know that they are loved unconditionally, even at their worst. Those boundaries are containing for children. They hold the child safely as they grow. Then there are another set of rules which are sometimes called boundaries, but which are actually something quite different. They aren’t about safety or wellbeing or even the needs of the community. These are rules which are in fact adult preferences. Preferences like the colour of your socks, perhaps, or having to sit still for hours every day. Some of these preferences are developmentally inappropriate – like expecting eleven-year-olds to be consistently well organised, or five-year-olds not to shout out. Learning to live by these rules isn’t an essential part of developing and growing. A rule does not become a boundary just because an adult calls it one. Boundaries hold a child safely, obedience enables other people to control them. And the way that children best learn about real boundaries doesn’t always involve consequences. Fear doesn’t lead to optimal learning and development. It’s not a great long term motivator, even if in the short term it looks like it’s working. Learning to behave is a long process for children, and it requires many conversations, patience, modelling, empathy and flexibility from adults. Controlling children's behaviour seems much quicker and therefore apparently more effective. Why take the long way round? Even though control seems quicker, there's a drawback. In the long term, if you’ve just learnt to be controlled, then when the control ends, you no longer ‘behave’. So if kids are highly controlled and well-behaved in the classroom but even after years of this can’t be trusted to go to the toilet without incident, then they aren’t learning to behave. They’re just being controlled. This is an post from my Substack. You can subscribe for free here. https://lnkd.in/eU2U3vi2
