Harold's
Safe Screen Time
For children 3 - 5 years old
Harold’s Safe Screen Time supports preschool children to develop and build safety skills, strategies and knowledge. This program focuses on body clues and early warning signs, online safety and screen time management, autonomy, help-seeking, and consent.
Overview
Harold's Safe Screen Time is one of Life Ed’s new programs supporting preschool children to develop and build safe online skills and behaviours. The program is targeted at 3-5-year-old children and focuses supporting children’s autonomy in building skills and strategies to stay safe online, to ask, give or deny consent, and develop a sense of agency.
The interactive session includes a new book featuring Australian illustrations, storytelling, music and songs that help children learn about health, safety and emotional wellbeing through the opportunity to engage in play-based, fun and hands on learning experiences.
