This article from the Irish Times will make you look at your child's online usage, research is from CyberSafe Ireland. Willow Park Junior School has engaged in an Online Safety Programme that will be delivered to students in 2019/2020.

More than one in 10 children aged eight to 13 are spending the equivalent of 61 days a year online, new figures show.

A survey by CyberSafeIreland, a children’s internet safety charity, found that 12 per cent of eight-year-olds are spending more than four hours online each day and this rises to 15 per cent among 12-year-olds.

It also found that of 3,867 children surveyed over the last academic year, 92 per cent owned their own smart device.
