Abstract

This book is part of a three-book collection focused on different aspects of young people’s (pre-teens) experiences with the digital world. It is also a resource for teachers, parents, mentors, and guardians in supporting conversations with and about young people’s online engagements.

The books reflect this collaborative link and seek to capture the essence and ethos of the approach employed. In doing so, we have opted for a conversational and at times inquisitive writing style. The books aim to communicate simple yet powerful messages about serious issues with the purpose of creating spaces for reflection and debate amongst young people and with adults.

More concretely, the books are underpinned by a pedagogy of empowerment, appealing directly to readers’ agency. This contrasts considerably with more cautionary approaches which, while well-intentioned and aiming to minimise online risks, can sometimes feel disengaged from young people’s views. Our methods seek to work with and promote young people’s informed views, while retaining advocacy of ethical online conduct.
