The Ultimate Parents' Guide to Protecting Our Kids Online - NP Schools Event

We all want our community to be a safe place for our tamariki. But in a rapidly changing digital world, the risks our children face online are growing—and so is our need to understand how to protect them.

That’s why we’ve invited filmmaker, author, and speaker Rob Cope, producer of the powerful documentary Our Kids Online, and recent guest on the 'Between Two Beers' podcast to deliver a humorous, eye-opening evening talk for our parent community.

"We need to tackle this as a community so that all of our kids are safe. When I protect my kids online, I also protect yours, so please, please protect your kids online so that you are also protecting mine" Rob Cope

His talk will cover:

• young ones - how the online world is affecting our kids' development

• cyberbullying - what does it look like?

• predators - the methods they use and how to spot them

• explicit content - how it shapes our kids' relationships and how to start conversations

• video games and the developing brain - what's the big deal?

• social media and mental illness - what's the connection?

• AI - the rise of chatbots, voice cloning, radicalisation, deepfakes

• PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS -

  • the best filters and how to install,

  • how to make smartphones safter-phones,

  • how to put boundaries in place,

  • the 3 golden rules to keeping your kids safe,

  • how to have difficult conversations with your kids,

  • how to reconnect as a family
