Raising Resilient Kids

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.

The definitive guide to raising safe, resilient kids in a digital age.

Our children are true digital natives, growing up in a world where their friendships, learning and even identity are shaped online. But with this comes risks that parents never experienced themselves. In recent years, alarming new threats have emerged – sextortion, blackmail, deepfakes and image-based abuse – adding to the ongoing dangers of cyberbullying, grooming, pornography, sexting and problematic screen use.

Growing Up Digital is the essential guide for today’s online world. Written by internationally recognised cyber-safety expert Susan McLean, this book tackles the urgent challenges now facing families.

With clarity, compassion and authority, McLean offers a conversational, easy-to-use handbook to give your children their ‘digital armour’. Packed with real-life case studies, up-to-date resources, clear explanations of the law and trusted links for further support, Growing Up Digital empowers parents and educators to act with confidence. From teaching teens how to manage their digital reputation and social media, to opening conversations about the toughest of issues, this is a practical roadmap for families navigating a rapidly changing landscape.

Susan McLean is the go-to voice for internet child safety, trusted by schools, governments and families across Australia and around the world. With no other resource offering the same depth of expertise or breadth of advice, Growing Up Digital is a must-have for every parent and teacher – a lifeline for raising a safe, resilient and informed generation in today’s online world.
