1.5-hour Online Information Session for Parents

"Keeping Kids Safe on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch"

“Do you know if your children are safely using their
iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone?”  

“In particular, do you know if they are able to access websites, apps and features that are not really appropriate for their age?”

“And do you know how time time they spend on various apps and websites?”

​​For many parents, the answer to the above questions is "I’m not sure" or "How do I find out?"  With the constant changes in features and apps, so many parent struggle to keep up with options and features for protecting their children.

At iTandCoffee, we are passionate about making sure that parents are armed with essential information to better understand what these devices can do, and what options they have for protecting not just their own children, but also other children who might use the device.

At this interactive, informative session, Lynette Coulston from iTandCoffee addresses the specifics of how to set up parental controls on Apple Mobile devices, how to use the great Screen Time features of iOS 15 to manage the time a child spends on these devices, how to lock a child into a single app and set time limits, how to prevent accidental spending, understanding and using iCloud and Apple accounts in a family, protecting your child’s privacy, a look at how to restrict YouTube content, and more.

I can highly recommend the iTandCoffee “Keeping Kids Safe on their iDevices" parent workshop.
As a school we are continually looking at ways to support our families in keeping cyber safe.
As well as classroom lessons and an annual cyber safety parent night, this session complemented them perfectly as it was very practical, hands on and specifically aimed at iPads, iPods & iPhones (which we find are the most prevalent devices in the hands of young children).
Lynette ran an engaging session and was able to answer parents questions as well as introduce them to an array of tools that they can use immediately to keep their children safe on iDevices.
​We will be having them back again next year!

It’s vital for parents today to learn about online safety, social media, digital footprints and new Apps.  Lynette, from ITandCoffee, presented an informative and entertaining session helping parents to keep their kids safe when it comes to technology.  Our parents were also appreciative of simple tips Lynette shared that helped them manage their own online worlds.

I am a parent representative on the Education Board at St Thomas the Apostle Primary School. I attended Lynette's session on the basics of keeping your children safe on their devices. This was one of the most informative and practical digital safety courses I have ever attended. Lynette provided practical security tips and solutions that we could implement there and then. I walked away feeling empowered and informed and ready to tackle this huge digital world. Thank you Lynette - I could not recommend you highly enough.
