In Episode 2 of the Be Cyber Safe NI Takeover, the youth advisory group continues their honest conversation about what life online really looks like — this time focusing on something every family has to navigate: boundaries and trust.
Hosted again by Maria (15, Portadown), this episode features real discussions from Matylda, Theo, Ethan, Darragh, and youth worker Paula. Together, they explore what healthy online boundaries actually feel like from a young person’s perspective, and how parents can keep children safe without feeling overly strict or intrusive.
The group talks openly about:
- When children should start learning about being online
- Whether there should be age limits for phones, social media, and internet access
- The role of parental controls — what helps and what feels like “too much”
- How trust develops as young people grow
- Why privacy becomes so important for teens
- How parents and young people often see digital risks differently
The result is a thoughtful, down-to-earth conversation that highlights the delicate balance every family tries to find: keeping young people safe while giving them space to grow, learn, and build independence.
This episode is a practical, relatable listen for parents, carers, and professionals who want to better understand the realities of navigating online life together.
