The activity's outcome is that the role of families in creating a safe space for us and our children in cyberspace is very important, especially considering the increasingly broad and complex digital world today. In today's digital era, the internet has become an inseparable part of everyday life. Children and adolescents grow up in a highly connected environment online, from learning, playing, to socializing. This condition demands an active role for families as the front line in guiding and protecting children from the dangers of the digital world. Families are not only responsible for supervising, but also creating a safe, open and supportive environment for children to be wise in using technology.
