S2E17 - Talking to your child about Digital Literacy
The internet is full of information, but how do kids know what to trust? Digital literacy is about more than just knowing how to use a device—it’s about understanding how online content is created, how algorithms influence what we see, and how to verify facts in a sea of misinformation. In this episode, we discuss why digital literacy is essential for kids today, the risks of growing up in an information-saturated world, and practical ways parents can help their children become smarter digital consumers. From decoding clickbait headlines to questioning viral trends, we break down the key skills kids need to stay informed, safe, and aware in the digital age.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this possible and to Elliott Kotze for sharing his invaluable insights. You can reach him at www.muizenbergpsychology.co.za
