Think you know give tips on how to keep your child safe online.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Statistics released by Ofcom show that over 50% of children aged 3-4 go online for nearly 8 hours a week, and 1 in 5 children aged 3-4 have their own tablet.

This may be surprising, but research has shown that families are spending more on technology for a number of reasons:

To further their children's education,

to maintain connections with family and friends,

and to facilitate and enjoy daily life.

How young is too young to start talking to my child about online safety?

It's never too early to start taking action to keep your child safe online.

As soon as your child starts talking about or exploring the online world, you should start conversations with them about their online activity and put support in place.

Research has found that children form 'digital habits' during early development (such as using devices after bedtime). Therefore it is important for parents to support children to develop positive - and lasting - digital habits from an early age.

What are the benefits of my under 5 using technology?

There are many benefits of children engaging with technology from an early age. The internet provides children with opportunities to learn, connect with family, develop creativity, as well as have fun. Apps, games and websites designed for under 5s help children to improve their literacy and numeracy skills, and supports them to develop their fine-motor skills (such as their ability to move fingers independently by pointing and pushing buttons, and improving hand-eye coordination).

A number of families use video chat and messaging services as a way to connect with family and friends, which allows young children to maintain relationships with relatives.

There are lots of child friendly sites you can explore with your child, such as Cbeebies, where children can watch videos, play games, learn and be entertained.

During these strange times the RSPCA prevention and education team is aiming to provide teachers, parents and carers with engaging activities that will get young people thinking and debating animal issues.

Learning new things is always fun and it is good to take the focus off ourselves and explore topics that could really change things for the better for both animals and the planet.

There is a lot more to think about than you would imagine - dip into some of these suggested activities and resources, you'll be surprised what little changes we could make to improve the lives of animals.

Home activities for children living with pets

Parents, guardians, and foster carers can download these free and fun activities that teach children about the needs and feelings of animals, and promote positive relationships between children and pets:

If you are working from home with your children there are lots of interactive games, videos and quizzes on the Animals & Us site which children can do on their own covering the five welfare needs of animals, how people can help wildlife and more information about the work of the RSPCA - for any budding inspectors or vets in your household.

There are lots of resources on the website for teachers (or parents) to download including early years, primary and secondary lesson plans and quick activities for those wanting to continue their child's education whilst schools in the UK close.

The deadline for entering the Compassionate Class competition has been extended to 19th May. We encourage children now staying at home to enter! It's a fun and interactive series of resources and allows children to learn about animal welfare and to get creative! Find out more about Compassionate Class and download the resource packs.

If you are unable to enter the competition this year then we still have opportunities for you to showcase your work and win a certificate and prizes! All you need to do is post your work on your school's social media page, or your personal page if your child is working at home, and mention the RSPCA and hashtag #CompassionateClass

The brilliant thing about dancing is you don't need any special kit or even much space. There are loads of ways you can shake it to a beat:

find a live performance or music video of your favourite song and try to copy the dance routine - if it doesn't have a routine, create your own!

have a competition to see who can come up with the best new dance moves - can you make up a signature move for yourself?

if you have the space and enough people, a game of musical chairs is always a winner

Or get moving with your favourite Disney characters with one of our dancing Shake Up games:

Chat, play, read!

Here are some tips and activities to help your child develop their speech skills:

use things your child is interested in for play, follow their lead and make sure you're physically at their level while playing

if you notice your child looking or pointing at something, talk to them about it before they lose interest in it

picture books introduce your child to new things they haven't seen yet in real life - ask them to tell you the story, or talk about what the characters might be thinking and feeling

make reading, singing and playing even more fun by using lots of actions and different voices

take turns to make noises or speak - your child will be able to hold longer conversations, so slow down your speech, give them plenty of time to respond and listen carefully to what they have to say

talk to your child in short, simple sentences, as it's easier for them to understand you and have a go at copying when they are ready

try to use the same book or sing the same song, as young children learn a lot from repetition

If your child is ready, you could use the plant pot idea (shown below) to help your child to count objects and match them to numerals correctly. In the image below the child is using plastic tweezers (this can also help to develop fine motor skills) to count some large seeds into the pots. Please remember to supervise your child at all times and only give them age appropriate objects to count.
Counting can become part of the daily routine and can be done with anything around the house, e.g. cutlery, fruit, shoes, books etc.  Good luck and remember to have fun counting!

We know the coming days and weeks are going to be difficult for families across the UK, as the spread of Covid-19 causes schools to close. As the experts in developing skills and bringing adventure to young people, we want to do what we can to help.

While we normally love the great outdoors, we've pulled together some inspired indoor activity ideas (if we do say so ourselves). Keep your kids learning new skills and having fun (and avoid hearing 'I'm bored' every 30 seconds) all in #TheGreatIndoors.

We hope you found these activities helpful. They're free - of course! - but if you like what you've seen and want to chip in to help us keep the activities coming, you can make a donation here.

These activities were originally designed for groups meeting face-to-face, so you may have to think on your feet to make them work in the (very unique) situation we're in. Anyone can be the person leading the game or activity, so why not let young people take charge? Instead of chatting in a real-life group, you could use the internet (safely) or talk to someone at home - we've heard that hamsters make pretty great listeners.

More activities to do at home

There are over 100 more activities for you to do with your little ones over the coming weeks. Check them out here.

So, to help with the rhythms and routines of your new daily life, we are releasing seven songs, one for each day, all with challenges and activities related to each song. Every week for the next few weeks we will continue to add songs and resources.
