In today's world, there is no avoiding the fact that children will come into contact with digital media. That is why it is important that your child learns basic digital media skills and can navigate the digital world safely and responsibly. Here you will find out why digital skills are so important for both your child and you, and how you can learn the necessary knowledge together in a fun way!
What is digital competence and why is it so important?
Digital competence includes, among other things, the ability to use devices such as smartphones and PCs correctly. Understanding digital safety, privacy protection, knowing reliable sources, and digital communication are also important. Learning these skills not only prepares your child for the digital world, but also has benefits in many other areas of life. Your child will learn social skills and critical thinking, and gain the competence to manage their own screen time and online accessibility sensibly and independently. The better your child understands these areas, the more independent and responsible their use of digital media can be.
Digital tips for parents & children
With these digital tips, you can dive into the digital world playfully. There are several ways to build digital media skills that are even really fun. We have collected some tips here with which you can playfully educate yourselves in the digital area.
Editing images
Social media and advertising often show perfect people with perfect lives. Your child probably doesn't know that this does not correspond to reality. Even adults sometimes forget that many things are only staged and also wish for such a supposedly great life, as their favorite influencers seem to have. To make it clear that not everything presented online is really like that, you can edit images with your child. Simply choose an image editing app and change an image however you like. The important thing is that you talk about the result. Your child will find that reality is quite easy to change.
Surfing safely
To enable your child to enter the internet safely, search engines specially developed for children such as "fragFINN.de" are suitable. This way, your child can learn to use search tools in a protected network.
Play "50 Ideas for Mobile Heroes"
The card game 50 Ideas for Mobile Heroes perfectly prepares your child for their first own smartphone with 50 cards on the topic of cybersecurity, chat rules, image rights, social media, and more. It also makes the entry into the digital world easier. This way, your child learns everything important about smartphones and the internet playfully, with the help of challenges and quiz questions.
Dive into the programming world with robots
Is your child interested in technology and wants to understand the functionality behind apps and systems? Then a programming course might be just right. Robot courses are particularly suitable because the purely theoretical programming becomes something tangible through the robot.
