Top Tips

What’s Top Tips about?

Welcome to our Top Tips page, created especially for parents and carers. 

There may be concerns you have about your children’s use of screens, or current issues that you’d like some information on.

In this section we aim to point you to some research-based information/resources on some important topics. 

For now, our list includes important issues like:

• how to start “screen smart” and early with young children;
• finding enjoyable and age-appropriate movies for your family;
• scary stuff and how to deal with it;
• does media violence hurt children?;
• keeping videogame playing healthy;
• protecting your child’s digital privacy;
• the importance of getting a good night’s sleep.

Coming soon: How much is too much [screen time]?

You can let us know if there are other topics that you think warrant inclusion in our list.
