Childnet International’s Digiducks Big Decision is a charming, educational e-safety story for children aged 3-7 and this has been turned into a fun, interactive app by Internet Matters working with Childnet. You can download the app for free and enjoy it with your child. Narrated by singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor and her mum the former Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis, the story teaches children the importance of being a good online friend and is a great conversation starter for parents to raise the issue of internet safety and being a good online citizen from an early age.
