Like cycling proficiency... for screens
Teachers, how is your statutory digital curriculum working? Is it really readying our kids for the world they live in? Sadly mental health stats suggest not. The Screen Skills Programme helps primary educators explain the digital world to kids and support them to make better sense of their real world.
At Real Talk Solutions we help to rebalance the wellbeing challenges posed by the modern world: floods of unreal imagery, heightened expectations and access to a digital world we haven't been prepared for. As adults we didn't get this training, we can change that for future generations. It's essential we do!

"My child was cyber bullied in primary school... we give kids tech, but we don't give them the skills to use it!
What we've created with the Real Talk Programme, will change the wellbeing outcomes for future generations. It will create kids who can separate the real from the fake and protect their self esteem in the process. Kids will understand, before they get immersed in the internet, how it operates and why. If kids knew ahead of time, it's not a reflection of real life, their relationship to it would be a healthier from the outset."
