Krispy Kreme has confirmed that its systems were compromised last year, exposing the personal data of over 160,000 individuals — not just staff, but their families too. And we’re not just talking about email addresses and phone numbers.

Prepare your kids to have unsupervised access to devices by preparing them with how to use devices, just like you would preparing them to swim on their own! You don’t just throw them in water and hope for the best, the same applies to technology! #samerulesapply #onlinesafety #digitalliteracy

Nothing in life is truly free - in digital world, if something is free, you are the product, your time, your data - you may not be fronting money but you are spending it indirectly. By the food, clothes, makeup, toys, books, household organising boxes, etc that you buy because of targeted ads.

Do you know what your kids are doing on their devices? If not, get to know through genuine interest! Be excited to learn what they like to do, and find ways to get involved! Show them what you like to do on your devices, and talk about how you manage your own screen time!

When letting your kids use the internet remember, the internet was not designed with kids in mind. The way the internet functions and much of what is on the internet was not intended for kids to use. We need to first supervise and teach our kids how to use the internet safely…

Got this absolutely beautiful book today, How to Say no to your phone by @unpluggedpsychologist and Lindsay Hassock The illustrations by @blooming.lau are so beautiful 😍 Though it is aimed at young people, it is very insightful for adults as well as kids!

The biggest lie on a kids toy… If you want all your food a messy shade of brown… sure you can have endless food creations 😂

What’s your biggest concern about your child’s online safety? Let’s talk about it!

The most sensible tweets I have read on Twitter in a long time… accountability is missing right now. The first information is the least reliable, but when it meets the narrative it’s the fastest that spreads.

When your 4yo does better on a test than you… it was an eye test and they aced it! Hoping we haven’t passed on the terrible eyesight to any offspring 😂

No parental control is going to completely eliminate access to unsuitable content… When you give your child access to a device you are accepting the risk they will see something you deem unsuitable. Open communication and education is key to kids understanding and growth.
