4. Understand!
“If
we
want
resilient
kids
we
need
to
understand
what
young
people’s
experiences
are
online,
listen
to
their
concerns,
and
intervene
with
their
best
interests
in
mind.”

7. Even
though
in
pracAce,
face-­‐to-­‐face
communicaAon
can,
of
course,
be
angry,
negligent,
resistant,
deceiYul
and
inflexible,
somehow
it
remains
the
ideal
against
which
mediated
communicaAon
is
judged
as
flawed.

27. BBC: Be Smart
“We’re
doing
this
because
all
the
research
tells
us
that
children
and
young
people
respond
best
to
their
peers.
Whether
they’re
under
pressure
to
take
part
in
a
dangerous
prank,
or
to
vic>mise
someone,
or
whether
they’re
an
online
bully
themselves,
stories
told
by
other
young
people
are
most
likely
to
resonate
and
to
help
them
cope,
or
change
their
behaviour.”

28. Increased
>me
spent
online
will
most
likely
increase
exposure
to
nega>ve
experiences
–
but
also
the
posi>ve
opportuni>es.
Nancy
Willard,
a
cyberbullying
expert,
calls
for
us
to
work
on
the
“understanding
that
the
vast
majority
of
young
people
want
to
make
good
choices,
do
not
want
to
be
harmed,
and
do
not
want
to
see
their
friends
or
others
harmed”.
We
can’t
control
their
whole
environment,
online
or
offline,
so
parents
need
to
give
their
children
the
capability
to
deal
with
problems
as
they
come
across
them.

•
Do

•
Watch

Let
