Parenting in the digital age involves guiding your teen on digital etiquette and financial literacy:
1. Digital Etiquette:
o Teach your teen about appropriate online behaviour, including respecting others’ privacy, avoiding cyberbullying, and being mindful of what they share online.
o Set guidelines for screen time and device usage to promote a healthy balance between online activities and real-life interactions.
o Discuss the importance of digital footprints and how their online actions can impact their reputation and future opportunities.

2. Financial Literacy:
o Educate your teen about money management, budgeting, saving, and the basics of banking.
o Involve them in discussions about household finances and teach them about earning, spending, and investing responsibly.
o Encourage critical thinking about consumerism, such as distinguishing between needs and wants, and making informed financial decisions.
By addressing these aspects, you help your teen navigate the digital world responsibly and develop essential financial skills for their future independence.
