<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Parents and carers of children aged 3–16 who want:</span></span></p>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Less conflict around screens</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">More balance between digital and offline activities</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Clear, realistic expectations</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Practical strategies that fit real family life</span></span></li>
</ul>

<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">No prior skills or knowledge needed.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">You will be asked to complete a ‘Getting to know you’ form before your session, followed by a quick questionnaire at the start and end of the course to show what you enjoyed, learnt and found helpful. The tutor will also give you guidance throughout the session and answer any questions that you may have. </span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This one-hour workshop gives parents the practical tools and confidence to manage their children’s screen use with less conflict and more clarity. The session explores what healthy screen time really looks like, why children struggle to switch off, and how families can build balanced digital habits that actually stick. Parents will learn how to set boundaries that work, create smoother transitions, and use technology to support—not replace—good routines. Key topics include:</span></span></p>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong>Understanding screen-time impact</strong> — what’s helpful, what’s harmful, and what really matters</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong>Setting realistic limits</strong> that reduce arguments and increase cooperation</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong>Creating screen-free routines</strong> that fit real family life</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong>Managing transitions calmly</strong> using simple, predictable strategies</span></span></li>
</ul>

<p><strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Calibri&#34;,sans-serif">Using parental controls effectively</span></span></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Calibri&#34;,sans-serif"> across phones, tablets, consoles, and smart TV</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Calibri&#34;,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">The session will be delivered by a tutor in a small group online.</span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">You do not need to bring anything but may wish to bring a notebook and a pen.</span></span></p>

<p>No.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Calibri&#34;,sans-serif">Parents will leave the session feeling more confident, better equipped, and ready to make meaningful changes at home. They’ll be able to set clear, consistent screen-time boundaries, communicate expectations calmly, and create routines that reduce conflict and support healthier digital habits. They’ll also know how to use built-in parental controls effectively and how to guide their children toward a more balanced relationship with technology.</span></span></p>
