Goal

Open up a discussion, get a sense of the parents opinion, sensitize parents for critical aspects of media education.

Steps

1

Prepare materials: Get red and green cards ready (for "not ok" and "ok") and lay them out for the parents before the meeting begins.

2

Prepare several real-life situations for parents to respond to, for example:

  • Watching cartoons during dinner.
  • The six-year-old brother can play video games only when his three-year-old sister is not around.
  • Mom posts pictures of her baby in her WhatsApp status.
  • The news is on TV, and your four-year-old is watching.
  • Mom is strict about not letting her three-year-old use her smartphone, but Dad makes exceptions.
3

Ask the parents: "Do you think this is OK or not OK?" Parents can show their opinion with the red or green card.

4

Facilitate discussion:

  • Invite parents to share why they think something is OK or not.
  • Emphasize that all opinions are valid and that families have different rules, values, and routines.
  • The goal is not to judge but to reflect and learn from each other's experiences.
5

Close the activity by summarizing that diversity in approaches is normal, and exchanging ideas can help everyone find balanced and thoughtful ways to deal with media in family life.
