Social Media For Parents Training with Digital Jen

6 January 2018 by Kirsty Leave a Comment

It’s very difficult to know how to stay safe on social media and the internet. After requests from many local parents Digital Jen has launched a new Social Media for Parents course, which aims to provide parents with knowledge and skills, so that you can make informed decisions about what to do when it comes to social media and technology in your family.

Social media and children is a subject that’s been in the headlines recently. Firstly there was the publication of the Children’s Commissioner’s report which highlighted the negative effects of social media on the wellbeing of 8 to 12 year olds. Then there was the despicable Logan Paul video that was published on YouTube at the start of the year. The video received 6 million views before it was taken down and many parents were horrified to discover that their children saw the disturbing content on YouTube and even on YouTube Kids.

Does your child have access to a phone, tablet, laptop, computer, or a television that is linked to the internet? Does your family have their own social media rules and do you and your children follow them? As parents we are constantly worrying about the safety of our children, many parents give their child a mobile phone so that they can keep in contact and stay ‘safe’. However, do you know which apps your child has on their phone? Does your child play games on the internet and do you understand the potential dangers involved? Have you Googled your child’s name recently to see what comes up? The Digital Jen Social Media for Parents course will help you to understand the technological minefields, so that you and your children can stay safe on social media and the internet.Digital Jen How To Stay Safe On Social Media

Digital Jen is a tech guru, as well as being a mum of two children and a Girl Guide leader for an amazing 24 years. As a mother and a volunteer Digital Jen has seen how difficult it is to be a child and a parent in the digital age. The Social Media for Parents course is aimed at parents with children from Year 4 to Year 7, but if you’re interested and your child is older/younger, then you are very welcome.

Social Media for Parents is one of Digital Jen’s kitchen table training sessions and takes place in St Albans, Hertfordshire. Sessions are limited to 4 people, tea and cake is provided, as well as lots of knowledge and information. The course is 2 hours long and will look at:

  • apps, games and platforms;
  • how to help your children understand social media and the internet;
  • security and how to stay safe on social media.

If you want knowledge, skills and understanding to enable you to make informed decisions about how your family use social media, then this is the course for you. Book your place on the next session here. Sessions in 2018 are listed below and places are limited:

  • Wednesday 17th January (9.30-11.30am)
  • Thursday 22nd March (9.30-11.30am)
  • Tuesday 10th July (1-3pm)
  • Friday 12th October (9.30-11.30am)

Instagram post 18118976026032537 December is here and today I helped to decorate one of the @stalbanspostboxes with my yarnbombing partner @stalbansmums
❤️🎄❤️
The amazing @translationsindevon and @stuart.candy have worked tirelessly to create 54 amazing crochet creations to decorate local postboxes in aid of three fantastic charities @earthworksst.albans , Small Acts of Kindness and Age Concern. All I had to do was unveil this beauty and donate money to charity. Isn’t it amazing?
❤️🎄❤️
Enjoy, share any photos using #stalbanspostboxes and if you are able to donate then visit the link in my bio to find the Just Giving Page. Nearly £5,000 has been donated already!
❤️🎄❤️
Special mention to the first visitors to our Holywell Hill postbox, George and his family. We hope you have lots of fun finding the other 53 postbox toppers!
❤️🎄❤️
It’s been an absolute pleasure to yarnbomb today and be involved in a project that brings smiles to so many faces at this time of year.
❤️🎄❤️
Let’s smash the fundraising target and show that all the hard work, collaboration and commitment is worth a donation, whether big or small, once they are all added together it makes a HUGE difference.
❤️🎄❤️
Merry Christmas St Albans!
❤️🎄❤️

Instagram post 18082660240094459 Last night we were invited to try the new Classic Festive Menu at @themarchmontarms in #hemelhempstead - a cosy, relaxed gastropub not too far from us. The food was very good and the evening was even more fun with @stalbansmums there to try the menu too.
🎄🥂🎄🍾🎄🥂🎄
The Classic Festive Menu has a fantastic range of choices including a tomato and almond bake which is suitable for vegans, salmon fillet with a smoky mussel cream and of course there’s roasted turkey with a glossy red wine gravy and a very tasty pork and clementine stuffing or even maple pork belly.
🎄🥂🎄🍾🎄🥂🎄
There’s also a very good Festive Cocktail Menu with highlights including the Sipsmith Bramble Royale with spiced bramble gin topped with prosecco or my favourite, a classic Espresso Martini.
🎄🥂🎄🍾🎄🥂🎄
The service was friendly and attentive, there was a relaxed, festive atmosphere with tasteful Christmas decorations and Christmas crackers on the tables. The food was really very good and I thoroughly enjoyed my starter of creamy garlic mushrooms, although I had slight food envy over the deep-fried Brie. The roast turkey was succulent and the gravy was plentiful and delicious. I wasn’t quite ready for Christmas pudding so early in the season and opted instead for a smooth and silky crème brûlée with a satisfyingly crunchy caramel topping.
🎄🥂🎄🍾🎄🥂🎄
If you’re still looking for somewhere to go for a fantastic festive feast then take a look at the Marchmont Arms for great food, service and value for money. The Classic Festive Menu was £27.95 for three courses and the portions were generous.
🎄🥂🎄🍾🎄🥂🎄

Instagram post 17846210107783171 Lapland UK is such a magical place. From the moment we checked-in we were transported to a world of elves and snow. We’ve helped to make toys in the workshop, iced gingerbread with Mother Christmas, met Pixie Mixie, Conker and Wish the elves, written letters in the post office, been ice skating, tiptoed past the reindeer who need their sleep ready for Christmas Eve and then we met Father Christmas!
🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻
A day to remember.
🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻

Instagram post 17851279441681699 Do you have places that you visit every year in the run up to Christmas to help kick-start that festive feeling? For us, Waddesdon Manor is one of those places and Christmas at @waddesdonmanor_nt is spectacular!
🎄🎄🎄🎄
We were invited to Waddesdon Manor to find out what’s on offer this Christmas and it didn’t disappoint. There’s a fantastic festive mix with the Christmas Fair, wonderful decorations inside the Manor House and the enchanting light displays in the grounds.
🎄🎄🎄🎄
Take a look for yourself and head over to themummysphere.co.uk to read my latest blog post all about our visit.

Instagram post 18013410952255924 Santa’s Post Office in @christopherplacestalbans, St Albans opened this evening! It was soooooo busy so we ended up going for a cheeky Wagamamas and then going back when the queues had calmed down a bit!
🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻
Santa’s Post Office will be open for one more late night 4-8pm on the 12th December as well as at weekends 11am-5pm Saturday and Sunday from 16th November to 22nd December 2019!
🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻
The elves open the doors to a magical place where children can write letters to Santa and send them on their journey to the North Pole.
🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻
There’s no need to book and entry is free, thanks to funding from the businesses in St Albans City Centre through St Albans BID.
