  • GROOTMAAK VIR DIE LEWE: Kinders het verbondenheid nodig, meer as konstante konnektiwiteit
    Lynette Beer gesels met Yolanda Maartens oor hoe ons ons kinders se selfwaarde in die wêreld moet beskerm van vergelykings, kommentaar en sosiale media 'likes'
    Grense moet duidelik, ouderdomsgepas en so konsekwent moontlik wees.
    Besluit saam oor skermvrye tye, soos etenstyd, huiswerktyd en die tyd net voor slaap.
    Ouers behoort te weet watter platforms hul kinders gebruik, met wie hulle kommunikeer en hoe privaatheid en veiligheid daar werk.
    Moenie elke stil oomblik outomaties met ’n skerm vul nie. Vra jouself gereeld: Gebruik ek nou my foon doelbewus, of bloot uit gewoonte?
