As you will all be aware, the promotion and maintenance of wellness and wellbeing are always on our minds at BIS.
One of the perennial topics of concern that is raised relates to the relationship between digital technologies, online behaviour, and wellbeing.
With the internet and smart technologies we have been given an amazing gift and opportunity, yet it is one that can be hard to navigate and manage effectively. Used well, consciously and carefully with respected boundaries it becomes a great tool for connection, information and indeed wellbeing promotion.
Unfortunately, when used incorrectly, inappropriate use of the internet can lead to a myriad of mental wellbeing challenges and exacerbate existing child and adolescent problems such as anti-social behaviour, procrastination and low or changeable moods.
Our first parental workshop, which is a partnership between our ASC Team and our Learning Technologies Integrator, focuses on this key topic area. The aim is to help our parents in their conversations at home around social media, screen time, gaming, digital footprint and digital citizenship.
