What does digital well being look like for children aged 5 to 8?
This week, during a piloting workshop, the team in WeLearn explored this question with a fantastic group of young learners through games, discussion and creative activities focused on the technology they use every day.
The children reflected on how different games and videos can make them feel, from excitement and happiness to frustration and worry. They recognised that digital well-being is about finding a healthy balance between screen time, physical activity, creativity, friendships and rest.
One of the most valuable discussions focused on knowing when to ask for help. The children identified trusted adults they could talk to if something online made them feel worried, upset or confused.
The session highlighted how even young children can think critically about their digital experiences when given the opportunity to reflect, share ideas and learn together.
A wonderful reminder that digital citizenship begins long before children receive their first phone.
