Mind Yer Time is a digital resource which helps children and young people use screens and social media in a healthy way.
The Scottish Youth Parliament developed this Scottish Government-funded project in partnership with the Children’s Parliament. Scotland is the first country in the world to provide a digital resource to help children and young people learn about healthy use of screens and social media.
This digital resource and its content was designed by children and young people, for children and young people. This digital resource covers topics ranging from body positivity to online bullying; providing guidance for children and young people to approach social media in a way that is beneficial for their mental and physical health.
This year, we are working to create more accessible resources and activities to support everyone who loves social media and screen time!
Alongside the resources for children and young people, the ‘For Adults’ section contains useful links and resources, including a session plan to help facilitate conversations about body image, and Top Tips for adults about how children use the internet.
