Supporting Your Child

• Nurture the social and emotional

skills of your child using S.A.F.E. tips

Support Affirm Familiarise Empathise

Support

• Encourage your child to talk to a trusted

adult for guidance.

• Help your child understand decisions

made and actions taken. Share the reasons for them.

• Keep rules short and realistic.

Affirm

• Recognise his/her demonstration of good

values or social skills.

• Praise your child’s efforts regularly. Only

scolding him/her without providing any justified praise at other times can be demoralising.

Familiarise

• Find out what school is like for students.

Moderate your expectations according to your child’s own strengths and development.

Empathise

• Show that you understand your child’s
• concerns. Be flexible in guiding your child

when necessary e.g. vary your voice tone at different circumstances.

• Teach with less talk and more role-
• modelling. Children learn a lot by simply

watching.

Spend time chatting using T.A.D.

• Talk about things that friends might pressure him/her

to do, which can be harmful. e.g. risky dares, deciding to meet an ‘online friend’

• Ask your child about interests he/she would like to

explore and what he/she needs to do to develop them.

• Discuss a variety of occupations that your child may

be interested to explore.

During your conversation with your child

• Listen without being distracted. Put aside

whatever you had been doing.

• Be prepared to accept your child’s views

even though you may not fully agree with them.

Monitoring Your Child

• Check child’s use of mobile messaging

applications (e.g. WhatsApp). Exit and/or delete chat groups that carry inappropriate language or content.

• Establish house rules on access to internet-

enabled devices (e.g. through supervised access), and explain the need for the rules.

• Consider use of non-smart phones if primary
• bjective is for tele-conversation or basic text

messaging.

• Configure electronic devices to be child-content

friendly, and password-protect equipment/ applications to prevent your child from using your electronic devices when you are not at home.

Monitoring Your Child

• Use of monitoring applications (e.g. Mobicip, Net

Nanny) to monitor your child’s Internet usage on the computer, iPad and smartphones. You will be able to view history reports, set usage limits, customise Internet filtering and etc.

• Enforce limit on daily screen time to no more than

an hour. This includes TV, computer and handheld

• devices. Research have shown that too much

time spent on electronic devices may contribute to disinterest in learning and lethargic behaviour in the child.

• Get the support from the caregivers.
