Family Matters York Christmas Update

Hi!

The run up to Christmas can be exciting and full of wonder. Children are counting down the days till Christmas Day; there are concerts, nativities and carol services galore; and our streets and homes are lit up with an array of twinkling lights and colourful decorations. For many families, Christmas can be a truly joyful time.

But some families will be struggling – dealing with many demands and challenges, facing financial pressures, parenting children who are overwhelmed, and noticing strains in their relationships. And some people will be noticing that they have drifted apart from their loved ones and feel the need to reconnect.

We are here to help local families!

Through our FREE courses, events and mentoring we support parents to nurture their relationships with their children, and we support couples to deepen their connection. Scroll down to see what’s coming up in 2025.

To explain more about who we help and how, we’ve made a brand new video!

E-safety Tips, Parent Partnership

E-safety Advice for Families – Snapchat

Snapcat themselves specify an age restriction of 13+ so no primary-aged children should be using the platform, but we thought this information could be useful for our families with older teens!

What Parents & Educators Need to Know about Snapchat

As one of the most popular messaging apps available, Snapchat sees an enormous amount of usage across the globe – with a significant number of those utilising the platform being under 18. For that reason, it’s important to understand the potential risks to younger users when spending time on this app.

Of course, it can be difficult to identify every hazard associated with the platform, let alone what can be done to mitigate these concerns. Our guide lays out the key online safety risks of Snapchat, as well as how to safeguard young people while they use the app.
