Digital Safety for Children: Building Healthy Tech Habits at Regent 

Introduction: Growing Up in a Digital World 

Today’s children are digital natives. From tablets to coding platforms, they are surrounded by technology from the moment they begin learning. While technology opens doors to creativity and innovation, it also brings new challenges: screen-time struggles, online safety, and balancing digital play with real-world experiences. 

At Regent International School, we believe technology should empower — not overwhelm — our children. That’s why we integrate digital safety and healthy tech habits into our teaching, ensuring every child grows into a confident, responsible digital citizen. 

Why Digital Safety Matters 

For parents, the digital world can feel both exciting and worrying. Questions naturally arise: 

• Is my child spending too much time on screens? 
• How safe are they online? 
• Are they learning to use technology positively, not passively? 

These are valid concerns. Technology is powerful — but without guidance, it can quickly become a distraction or even a danger. At Regent, we approach digital safety as a shared responsibility between school and home. 

How Regent Teaches Healthy Tech Habits 

We don’t just hand children devices; we teach them how to use technology wisely. Our approach includes: 

• Digital Citizenship Curriculum: Children learn the basics of online safety, cyber etiquette, and responsible sharing. 
• Balance and Moderation: Students are encouraged to use tech as a tool for creativity — coding, designing, researching — rather than passive scrolling. 
• Safe Online Spaces: Through monitored platforms and secure tools, children explore the digital world within safe boundaries. 
• Workshops for Parents: We provide families with tips and strategies to extend digital safety at home, ensuring consistency between school and home life. 

Examples of Positive Tech Use at Regent 

• Coding & Robotics: Students use technology to build and create, not just consume. 
• STEAM Labs: Digital tools help bring scientific and creative projects to life. 
• Interactive Learning Platforms: Children collaborate on projects while teachers guide safe, constructive use of digital resources. 

Through this approach, technology becomes a springboard for curiosity and innovation — not a replacement for play, conversation, or imagination. 

Why Parents Can Feel Reassured 

When your child uses a device at Regent, you can trust it is part of a purposeful, well-guided learning experience. We combine the excitement of digital tools with the boundaries and values children need to thrive safely in a connected world. 

This means your child doesn’t just know how to use technology — they know how to use it wisely. 

Regent’s Promise: Empowered, Safe, and Ready 

Our mission is to prepare students not just for exams, but for life. Digital literacy and safety are vital skills for the 21st century, and at Regent, we ensure children grow up not only fluent in technology but also wise, balanced, and safe in how they use it. 

Because in the right hands, technology is not a threat — it’s a tool for empowerment. 

Takeaway for Parents:
At Regent International School, your child will learn to be more than a digital user — they’ll become a digital leader. With the right guidance, boundaries, and values, we ensure technology enhances learning while safeguarding wellbeing.
