Everyday family life between the online world and real life can be exhausting. Between Zoom conferences and TikTok, gaming sessions and class chats, nerves sometimes get frayed. klicksafe helps families to stay digitally balanced.
What do you do when your daughter forgets her homework while chatting and your son prioritises online games over football training? It's not that easy - especially as most parents nowadays spend a lot of time online themselves. So it's no wonder that screen time and digital limits often cause clashes between the generations. Almost one in four children say that there are often arguments in their own family because of this. Yet a good half of children and parents would like to spend less time with digital media.
Successfully setting boundaries - for the whole family
How is digital balance supposed to work in everyday life? That's a mystery to many parents. Digital detox weeks? Strict bans? Or would you rather carry on as before? Help is available from the EU initiative klicksafe, which shows ways out of the digital dilemma - with useful information and tips for the whole family. For example, it helps to draw up a media usage contract together, discover digital services together and set "smartphone-free" times - for example at dinner. Time limits for frequently used apps also help to limit digital stress.
Children criticise their parents' digital habits
What does it take for a parent to really be a role model when it comes to digital media use? What should be considered for which age group and when should you seek help from experts? klicksafe provides answers to help you set the right boundaries together and thus avoid constant annoyance. It's not just parents who feel this way, but also many children and young people: A quarter of all 10 to 17-year-olds, for example, think that mum and dad should spend less time on digital media. Another good reason to get practical tips from klicksafe and make the feeling of being #OnlineAmLimit a thing of the past.
The klicksafe video series #OnlineAmLimit offers an entertaining introduction to the topic. Parents can find further suggestions and simple tips for greater understanding and awareness of media use in the flyer "Between apps and dinner - more balance in everyday digital family life". In addition, klicksafe experts offer parents and other interested parties answers to the question of how digital usage times in the family can be brought into balance and where help is available in an emergency in a free web seminar.
