Parent’s Guide to Media Literacy
Trend Micro worked with NAMLE to create a parent’s guide to assist families in starting media literacy conversations at home.
The guide uses real-life examples to focus on one simple piece of advice: teach your kids to ask questions. Download your free copy of the parent’s guide and tell your neighbors where to find theirs.
The Parent’s Guide is also available in Spanish and Greek here.
