The IT Nerd

AVG Technologies has revealed that by the age of ten years old, most children today will have already had their first ‘facts of life’ talk with their parents. This is up to five years earlier than their parents’ generation, the majority of whom (50 per cent) could not remember having had the conversation until the age of 15 – if at all (42 per cent).

To help to address this, AVG has created a series of interactive ‘click-or-tell’ digital books, called Magda and Mo. Developed with global Internet safety charity, Childnet International, the introductory book, ‘The Pirate’s Donut’, is a fun story for young readers and their parents to read together as they guide the title characters to decide between going online themselves or asking a grown-up for help. Other interesting facts can be found in the study which I’ve linked to as well as the video below:
