Lock everything down and you get a child who hides things from you, and hiding is the actual danger. Rely on trust alone and you've left a nine year old to handle whatever the algorithm serves up next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe answer isn't one or the other. It's guardrails and a conversation, and this course gives you both, including the wording for the conversation, which is usually the harder half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn age-by-age guide,\u003c\/strong\u003e from under six through to fourteen and over.
