Raising children is generally a major challenge for parents, and new influences and demands are constantly emerging. In the area of media education in particular, parents are confronted daily with questions about age-appropriate media content and services, recommended screen time, and child-safe settings on devices.
When children use media—and they’re doing so earlier and more frequently than ever—parents are automatically called upon to take a stand, set boundaries, agree on rules, and at the same time support and encourage their children.
klicksafe supports parents with practical information and tips. Explore our topic areas and get advice on media education or issues such as cyberbullying, media addiction, challenges, social networks, games, and artificial intelligence. Here you’ll find all of klicksafe’s topic areas.
To provide the best possible support to institutions, multipliers, and presenters in their work with parents, klicksafe has developed numerous handouts and guides. You can find all materials for educational practice in our resource system.

The online world is very dynamic. Time and again, children and teens discover new trends and applications—and, as a result, new ways to use them and new risks. In addition, society is constantly changing, and this also affects parenting philosophies. Speakers at media education parent-teacher meetings should therefore stay up to date and regularly keep themselves informed about developments, concepts, and methods in media education. Subscribe to our monthly klicksafe newsletter here and stay up to date.
