Led by Lydia Alty, a seasoned online creator with over 8 years of experience and a commitment to children’s safety, these workshops are designed to empower parents with the knowledge to guide and protect their children’s digital experiences. Lydia’s deep understanding of the digital world, combined with her DBS clearance, ensures that each session is educational, insightful, and focused on safety.

What We Do

Our workshops cover essential online safety practices tailored to different age groups, helping parents understand the digital platforms their children are using and equipping them to keep their kids safe. Each class is interactive and practical, providing insights into privacy settings, content management, and how to foster healthy online habits at every stage.

Who Are Our Classes Tailored For?

Our workshops are crafted for parents with children of various age groups, with content tailored to the unique digital experiences each age encounters:

  • Tots Class (Ages 2-4): This introductory class for parents focuses on creating safe YouTube experiences and establishing a responsible early online presence for young children.

  • Infant Class (Ages 5-8): For parents of young kids beginning to explore apps like TikTok and YouTube and starting to use search engines. We cover safety settings, content control, and guidance for this curious age.

  • Junior Class (Ages 8-12): For parents of older children who may be using a wider variety of platforms. This workshop covers responsible online behavior, safety settings, and emerging social media habits.

  • Senior Class (Ages 13-18): A comprehensive deep dive into the social media platforms most popular with teens. This session educates parents on the realities of modern social media use, how to monitor content effectively, and ways to stay connected with teens’ digital lives while allowing them independence.

Each class provides parents with take-home materials, practical advice, and an in-depth understanding of the potential risks, rewards, and realities of the online world for children and teens. You’ll leave with actionable steps, a balanced view of social media’s pros and cons, and a stronger foundation to help your child navigate the online world safely and positively.
