Vodafone have informed Andrew that they have recently launched a book to help parents and children talk about social media and how to use it responsibly.
Andrew says, "I understand that 48% of children are exposed to social media by the age of seven. Moreover, research has shown that parents are not speaking to their children about the responsible use of social media before their kids start using it.
"As such, Vodafone have partnered with Andersen Press to create the children’s book: #Goldilocks. The book, which is aimed at 5-11-year-olds, will help parents discuss how to use social media responsibly in a fun and accessible way. The book takes the form of a fairy tale and tackles subjects such as the potential consequences of being unkind, getting carried away with selfies or oversharing images."
