HELPING YOUR CHILDREN AT HOME:
The best way to help your child at school is to ensure that he or she is here!!! When it comes to homework, do what you can with your child, ask about their day and put in place a good bedtime and morning routine!! If you are having problems with homework please talk to the class teacher and a plan can be put in place. Keeping things as relaxed as possible always helps.
The effects of relaxation and stress on our bodies can be seen below!!!!!!!!!

Encourage your child to be careful if disclosing personal information.
2. Talk to your child about the risks of meeting 'friends' in person.
3. Report online material you may consider illegal to appropriate authorities.

5. Passwords. treat your passwords like a toothbrush, never share it and change it regularly.
