Join us for an insightful family event, Left to Their Own Devices?, on Wednesday 21 October at 7:30pm at the DoubleTree by Hilton Swindon. This engaging session is designed to equip families with the knowledge and tools to confidently explore the online world together. In an age where digital interaction is paramount, understanding the nuances of the internet is crucial for both young people and their guardians. The event will provide practical, actionable advice tailored for children and adults alike, focusing on how to use the internet safely and harness its many benefits. Whether you're looking to enhance digital literacy, understand potential risks, or simply foster a more positive online experience for your family, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Tickets are priced at a very accessible £5.00, making it an affordable way to invest in your family's digital well-being. Come along and discover how to navigate the digital landscape as a united front.
Stay ahead of the curve and help your children navigate the online world safely and to their advantage.
You already know something feels different with your child…
Maybe they seem more anxious, more distracted, and less confident than they used to be.
Perhaps every conversation about phones or social media ends in frustration, leaving you wondering if you're either overreacting, or not doing enough.
You're not alone.
Just when you think you've caught up, there's another app, another trend, another platform your child seems to know instinctively.
While they navigate an online world that changes by the day, it can feel impossible to keep up.
Who are they talking to? Who's influencing them? How much of a concern is it and how much should I care?
At Left to Their Own Devices?, you'll hear trusted experts unpack the challenges children face today, share real-world strategies and equip you to parent through the uncertainty of a digital world that never stands still.
Most importantly, you'll discover you're not facing these challenges alone.
Join other parents asking the same questions and leave with the reassurance that your relationship with your child is still one of the most powerful influences in their life.
We’ll explore ...
What our children are exposed to online, who they’re speaking to and how they behave
Why tech can feel so addictive (and what’s happening in your child’s brain)
The impact social media is having on mental health
Creative ways to tackle issues as a family
Practical tips to set you up for success
Join us for a practical evening to help you feel more confident in this stage of parenting.
