Building Resilient Kids
Resilience is a term that has gained traction in recent years, becoming the “buzzword” if you will. It’s easy to see why. its a word that resonates with parents, carers, educators- anyone who is involved in the lives of children and teenagers, as we all have similar goals – namely, to develop strong, capable, well-balanced and above all, kind, decent, and resilient young people.
Throughout this book, a number of Australias best experts will touch on some of the biggest and most challenging influences on young people today – including cyber safety, pornography, anxiety and self-harm – and they offer not only current statistics and information, but strategies to help us as parents, educators and carers, to navigate this minefield and raise them to become confident, resilient people.
Sexts, Texts & Selfies is indispensable for any parent hoping to give their children the skills, knowledge and strategies to use the internet in a safe, smart and responsible way.
Susan has backed all of the information she shared with facts and that is why I feel a greater empowerment to make sure I actively put the right controls and measures in place around our household usage of social media/apps and games. I will actively share the information from this forum as I strongly believe, being the actively alert parent who is “interrupting” a child’s online activity can make the difference between the life or death of a child.
Parent - Plenty Parklands Primary School
Susan was an amazing speaker and her passion came out in her message. I was quite disturbed by some of the graphic content which we saw and cannot imagine how distressed my child would be if she was to come across this same content. I HIGHLY recommend ALL parents either do some research on or even better attend a session of Susan's.
Melissa Stojkovski, IT and Digital Solutions, Telstra Operations
The Growing up Online forum with Susan McLean was both fantastic and frightening at the same time. Knowing that we are living in a world where our children are immersed in technology daily and the consequences of a momentary lapse of judgement by some kids, is why if you have a spare two hours to attend, I urge you to make the effort to attend one of Susan McLean's upcoming sessions.

The PEGS community gained great insight from Mrs McLean’s vibrant and informative sessions. Teachers and students were given invaluable advice on how to safely manage online activities and parents, in particular, were reminded of the importance of vigilantly monitoring their child’s online behaviour.

Our main focus was to inform our staff, student and parent population about potential dangers and safety tips on how to assist the students in our care stay safe online.

Since the presentation, my office has been inundated with Year 8 and 9 girls owning up to not treating each other appropriately. I had a parent phone me mentioning her daughter had changed her password and removed many “online friends”. I feel that the message got through.
Beth Redman - Yr 8 and Middle School Co-ordinator Tintern Schools
A worthwhile investment! The material presented by Susan was realistic and user-friendly.

For years we have been warning schoolies about the older male 'toolies' preying on young women but the almost tacit approval of female sex workers preying on young men is of equal concern. One moment of hormone fuelled madness could and will impact them for many years in the future. From one Schoolie who was interviewed and stated he was 'devasted' that he would not be having sex with Bonnie Blue (reduces females to sex objects) to the Vic sport team that took team bonding to a whole new level! These young men are the boyfriends and partners of our daughters and their belief that sex is a financial transaction and girls are sex objects is going to cause continued harm. Good on the two boys who chose not to participate at the last minute.***** She has now admitted she has lied and did not disclose that she was born male........ adds a whole new level of deceit to these young men. ...
