Former police officer and mother of three, Kate Power, is about to release her new cyber safety book, My Device RULES! – The third in her series of best-selling children’s safety books. Read an extract below:
Page 10:
Devices are nicest when we are aware
The things we see on them –
Vids, games, memes – the lot
While sometimes are real, often they’re not!
They’re all made by people
Who aren’t always kind
Some like to play tricks
And mess with our mind
Page 11:
But no need to worry
‘Coz we’re in control
If we keep to these rules
When we tap, swipe and scroll…

When I’m on my device
I have fun but think twice
‘Coz I always take care what I do
If I see something weird
Or that makes me feel scared
I close it and hide it from view
I don’t post my pic,
Name, age or address
Unless a safe grown-up says “yes”
Page 13:
And if I’m on a shop
Or something pops up
I ask what I can and can’t press
Someone I don’t know
Wants to chat I say “no”
‘Coz I make my friends first in real life
And I say in this space
What I’d say to your face
That’s how I keep my device nice
