How We Got Cyber Smart company information, Employees & Contact Information

In today’s technology-based society, it has never been more crucial to teach children how to be safe online. How We Got Cyber Smart is a bestselling Australian children’s book that tells the story of Olivia and Jack as they encounter a cyberbully. The story is told in a fun and engaging way to start conversations with children about the importance and implementation of cyber safety, without the use of a screen. How We Got Cyber Smart helps break down barriers and awkwardness when discussing such a serious topic, resulting in an enjoyable and essential family experience. Research by Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, identified that 94% of parents understand the importance of online safety for children, with the majority reporting they were not confident in their ability to deal with negative online experiences. Almost one third of parents reported being aware of their child having a negative online experience in the last 12 months. Since the start of COVID, serious cyberbullying of children was up by 30%. With more children online due to remote learning, it is now critical to teach children online safety skills, and How We Got Cyber Smart does through an easy to digest set of recommendations and talking points that engage families in conversation. Endorsed not only by Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, How We Got Cyber Smart is widely celebrated by the cyber safety community, parenting forums and many other influential professionals and mentors such as Dr. Kristy Goodwin and Australian Parenting Author, Educator and Speaker, Maggie Dent. Created by mum of 2 and Tech Communications Professional, Lisa Rothfield-Kirschner, who recognised the need for a visually appealing, fun way to engage with children aged 3 to 12 years, How We Got Cyber Smart was developed to raise awareness of the importance of online safety without frightening young children.
