Module Overview
Children encounter misleading information in many ways:
- Online platforms and algorithms
- Peer conversations and social media
- News, entertainment, and influencers
- And sometimes—uncomfortably—through adults and institutions
These moments are not just about correctness.
These are moments when children ask deeper questions:
- Who can I trust?
- How do I decide what’s true?
- What do I do when trusted sources disagree or get it wrong?
This module supports parents in:
- Identifying what kind of misleading information is present
- Responding without panic, shame, or escalation
- Supporting children when generally trusted sources are inaccurate
- Preserving trust in learning while strengthening independent judgment
Parents are positioned as critical-thinking stabilisers, not fact police or institutional critics.
