Campaign to help parents build safe digital environment for kids

When her nine-year-old daughter does her school homework, Ms Nuri Syafiqah Shumaswan will allow her to have a short period of screen time.

And even then, her daughter will be expected to stick strictly to rules outlined in their signed First Device Tech Agreement, which will work like a contract between parent and child.

The agreement, in the form of a document that can be printed, seeks to set out the boundaries and healthy online habits the child is to abide by before being given his or her first device.

It consists of rules that include the child asking the parent for permission before creating online accounts or downloading applications, and being careful of strangers online.

Ms Nuri Syafiqah, who works in the food and beverage industry, said she will be using the First Device Tech Agreement and all the other resources provided by the First Device Campaign (FDC) Singapore to safely introduce digital devices to her two daughters, aged six and nine.
