Datafied Childhoods the book

April 12, 2022 By Anne 2 Comments

A grabbier headline for this post might be “Screens are watching us back,” but that would be like so many scary news headlines parents are subjected to.

Powerful parenting for child safety online, offline

March 11, 2022 By Anne 2 Comments

“The importance of a strong, positive relationship between a parent and child cannot be overstated. Reams of research has shown this to be true,” writes Prof. Justin Patchin of the Cyberbullying Research Center (CRC). And yet over the 20+-year-long public discussion about child online safety we’ve seen so little evidence – especially in news coverage and hearings on Capitol Hill – that all this … [Read more...] about Powerful parenting for child safety online, offline

‘Playful by Design,’ a landmark report

December 13, 2021 By Anne 1 Comment

Research in the report

What better subject to zoom in on during the holiday season than play? I've written a lot on the subject, here, through the years but, in a way, this is Part 4 of a series I started in 2009 (here are the 2nd and 3rd parts). So now, at the turn of a new year, it’s not only a perfect time but high time to come back to the power of play. Happy holidays to all who celebrate them, happiness to those … [Read more...] about ‘Playful by Design,’ a landmark report

April 7, 2021 By Anne 11 Comments

Because this addendum to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is the first binding international document to spell out human rights concerning all things … [Read more...] about Youth rights’ digital upgrade: Cause for celebration

Safer Internet Day 2021: Ground youth safety & rights in dignity

February 8, 2021 By Anne 5 Comments

What better day than Safer Internet Day to take cyberbullying prevention and intervention to the next level – or at least break the discussion about it wide-open? And just four days after the UN Committee for the Rights of the Child brought digital rights into the Convention on the Rights of the Child. “In relation to the digital environment, it’s a game changer,” writes psychology professor Sonia … [Read more...] about Safer Internet Day 2021: Ground youth safety & rights in dignity
