Once kids have access to the internet, they have a variety of virtual neighborhoods at their fingertips. Social media, video games, and browsing websites are a fun way to meet new friends, socialize, be creative, and explore a variety of topics but it also opens kids up to risks their families have never thought of before.
Our GKIS Screen Safety Certification Course will help you become their go-to internet safety expert. You will be able to teach the red flags of online risk and the wellness strategies to keep families safer online. Our goal is to help you build a closer community and empower your youth and their families. With these teachings, they’ll be primed to independently problem-solve and build healthy habits and resilience – all along the way building trust and attachment with each other and with you. Empowerment is key, and so is healthy attachment as a family and community.
Not only will your families be in the know regarding online risk, but they will also learn family-tested psychological wellness tools that I’ve been using in my psychology practice for over 25 years. These cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness wellness tools have been demonstrated to be effective for improving mood and empowering parents and kids to make their best choices when faced with challenges. Best of all, your youth will be more likely to share with their parents and your trusted community for coaching and support. Isn’t that what we want most of all? Having healthy, capable kids who feel safe in a trusted, loving, and secure environment?
Not only will your GKIS Screen Safety Certification Course give you our 26 Screen Safety Essentials Course lessons and four direct training sessions with Dr. Bennett, but we also offer tons of free content to feed your teachings for years to come. Here are some of the bonuses you get with your course purchase:

My goals for GetKidsInternetSafe courses are to inspire cooperative family dialogue and sound strategies for screen management. General practical tips are offered for informational guidelines rather than clinical service. As a mother and licensed psychologist, I am profoundly aware that each child, parent, and family is different and good parenting comes in many forms. Not all course tips work with all kids and families. Please use your best judgment and parental instincts when applying them. For specific questions pertaining to your child’s physical or mental health, please consult your local pediatrician or licensed clinical psychologist. If you are in crisis, please contact emergency services immediately. GetKidsInternetSafe Privacy Policy and Terms of Use apply. Thanks for reading through the legal and ethical stuff. Welcome to our GetKidsInternetSafe community, and please enjoy all that your GKIS Social Media Readiness Training Course has to offer!
