One of those is screen time and staying safe online.<\/p>\n<p>Children\u2019s time online has the potential to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vodafone.co.uk\/newscentre\/press-release\/top-digital-challenges-summer-holidays\/\">soar in the summer<\/a>, and when you\u2019re doing your best to work from home with the kids around, it\u2019s pretty difficult to monitor what they\u2019re doing on the tablet or TV. Devices help us get through the day, but they also open the door to risks we may not fully see.<\/p>\n<p>I get it because I live it. I\u2019m a safeguarding expert who researches\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/grooming-an-expert-explains-what-it-is-and-how-to-identify-it-181573\">child online safety<\/a>, and I\u2019m also the parent of two children currently on their school summer holidays.<\/p>\n<p>According to a 2025\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/siteassets\/resources\/documents\/research-and-data\/media-literacy-research\/children\/childrens-media-use-and-attitudes-report-2025\/childrens-media-literacy-report-2025.pdf\">Ofcom report<\/a>\u00a0on child media use, over half (55%) of under-13s are already using social media, although many of these apps \u2013 such as TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram \u2013 have a 13+ age limit.<\/p>\n<p>Among older children, around one in five (21%) of 13- to 17-year-olds are now livestreaming their own videos, adding a further layer of visibility and vulnerability. Around 30% of children aged between 13 and 17 couldn\u2019t correctly identify a fake social media profile.<\/p>\n<p>So how do we keep kids safe online this summer without becoming full-time tech experts? Here are four real-life scenarios and some practical ways to stay ahead.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>You\u2019re working from home\u2026 and they\u2019re on YouTube<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>You finally have 15 quiet minutes to answer that backlog of emails. Meanwhile, your child is watching YouTube in the next room.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the best intentions, YouTube\u2019s autoplay and content suggestions can lead children down unexpected rabbit holes. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/siteassets\/resources\/documents\/research-and-data\/media-literacy-research\/children\/childrens-media-use-and-attitudes-report-2025\/childrens-media-literacy-report-2025.pdf\">Ofcom<\/a>, YouTube is the most-watched online platform for children aged three to 17 \u2013 and therefore likely to be one of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechildrensmediafoundation.org\/archives\/16662\/preschoolers-and-youtube-kids-what-do-they-watch-and-what-are-the-concerns\">first platforms<\/a>\u00a0where they may come across\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.care.com\/c\/how-youtube-affects-kids\/\">unsafe or confusing content<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.internetmatters.org\/advice\/apps-and-platforms\/entertainment\/youtube-and-youtube-kids\/\">YouTube Kids<\/a>\u00a0for younger children, and set\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childnet.com\/blog\/a-parents-guide-to-youtube-restricted-mode\/\">restricted mode<\/a>\u00a0on regular YouTube for older ones. Turn off\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/intl\/en_us\/howyoutubeworks\/user-settings\/autoplay\/\">autoplay<\/a>, which automatically plays a new video after the one you chose finishes, and check the watch history regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Watch a few videos with them when you have a moment, and make it routine to ask: \u201cWhat\u2019s the funniest (or weirdest, or most interesting) video you watched today?\u201d Openness beats surveillance every time.<\/p>\n<p>Even among younger children, Ofcom\u2019s data shows that social media is often used unsupervised, highlighting the importance of settings, filters and shared conversations about what they\u2019re watching.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Your kids\u2019 friends come over, and bring their phones<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>You might have set your own digital rules at home: no Snapchat or TikTok yet, for instance. Then a friend visits and pulls out their phone, casually opening apps your child isn\u2019t allowed to use.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of peer-led digital exposure is a challenge for parents, especially when visiting devices come with open access and fewer restrictions. Establish clear and simple house rules that are easy to apply to all devices, such as \u201cNo phones upstairs\u201d. Limiting where children use their devices is helpful because it encourages openness and reduces the risk of hidden or unsupervised activity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/bitesize\/articles\/z9k4bqt\">Talk with your child<\/a>\u00a0about why these rules matter: they might encounter age-inappropriate content, for instance. Make communal areas like the living room or kitchen tech-visible zones: places where screens are used in plain sight. This helps normalise check-ins and casual supervision, so it feels natural rather than intrusive.<\/p>\n<p>What matters most is that children feel safe talking to you when something doesn\u2019t feel right, whether it\u2019s their phone or someone else\u2019s.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u201cEveryone\u2019s on Snapchat \u2013 why can\u2019t I be?\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is the classic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nspcc.org.uk\/keeping-children-safe\/online-safety\/talking-child-online-safety\/\">peer-pressure<\/a>\u00a0moment. Your child tells you they\u2019re the only one without a particular app and they just want to stay in touch with friends over the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>This exact situation came up in our household. My daughter told me all her friends were using Snapchat, and she didn\u2019t want to feel left out. Instead of simply saying no, I invited her to do some research first. She wrote a short summary explaining why she wanted the app, what the benefits were for her, what the potential dangers were and how she would reduce those risks.<\/p>\n<p>She took the task seriously \u2013 she wanted the app! It turned into a great learning moment for both of us and gave her a sense of ownership and responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>If this comes up in your household, you could try the same approach. Ask your child to present a case for any new app, including how they plan to stay safe. Discuss\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.internetmatters.org\/advice\/apps-and-platforms\/social-media\/snapchat\/\">age limits<\/a>\u00a0(Snapchat is rated 13+) and why they exist.<\/p>\n<p>You can say no to their request, but talk about why, and perhaps make a plan for when they can use it. If you agree, explore the app together. Review privacy settings, turn off location visibility, and look at any built-in safety tools.<\/p>\n<p>When children feel informed and included in the process, they\u2019re more likely to come to you when something doesn\u2019t feel right.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>You\u2019re not a tech expert \u2013 and you\u2019re worried<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, many of us feel outpaced by the variety of new platforms. But here\u2019s the truth: you don\u2019t need to master every app. What matters most is creating a home culture where communication is open, boundaries are clear, and digital safety is part of everyday life, not something reserved for a crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Set\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nspcc.org.uk\/keeping-children-safe\/online-safety\/\">screen time limits early<\/a>\u00a0and revisit them together as your child grows.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.internetmatters.org\/digital-family-toolkit\/\">Where possible<\/a>, link accounts, use family management tools or set up parental controls (even older children can benefit from some guardrails). Don\u2019t be afraid to pick up your child\u2019s phone and scroll through it, but with them, not behind their back. Openness builds trust.<\/p>\n<p>If something feels off, talk about it. And if you\u2019re unsure, ask for help, from schools, other parents, or one of the many expert resources available.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to know everything. You just need to stay curious, stay involved and let your child know that if something goes wrong, you\u2019re the first person they can turn to for support.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Michelle McManus is Professor of Safeguarding and Violence Prevention, Co-Director of the Institute for Children&#8217;s Futures at Manchester Metropolitan University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parenting over the summer holidays, especially when juggling work and childcare, comes with significant challenges.
