Overview
This vital, sensitive guide explains the serious issues children face online and how they are impacted by them on a developmental, neurological, social, mental health, and well-being level. Covering technologies used by children aged two through to adulthood, it offers parents and professionals clear, evidence-based information about online harms and their effects and what they can do to support their child. Catherine Knibbs, specialist advisor in the field, explains the issues involved when using online platforms and devices in family, social and educational settings. Examined in as non-traumatizing a way as possible, the book covers key topics, including cyberbullying; cyberstalking; pornography; online grooming; sexting; live streaming; vigilantism; suicide and self-harm; trolling and e-harassment; bantz, doxing, and social media hacking; dares, trends, and life-threatening activities; information and misinformation; and psychological games. Online Harms and Cybertrauma will equip professionals and parents with the knowledge to support their work and direct conversations about the online harms that young people face. It is essential for those training and working with children in psychological, educational, and social work contexts, as well as parents, policy makers, and those involved in development of online technologies.

Author Information
Catherine Knibbs is a clinical and academic researcher, consultant and trainer in the fields of cybertrauma and online harms, director for Privacy4 Ltd and Online Safety UK, UKCP-accredited child and adult trauma psychotherapist, and TEDx speaker. Jennifer Smith adores telling stories and bringing characters to life-she can't think of a better job! There is nothing more perfect than reading or listening to a story that sucks you in and wraps you up in a new world. Tear jerking romances, thrillers and mystery, as well as YA lit, are all found on her bookshelves and in her audio library. When Jennifer's not reading or listening to stories, she's writing them, or binge-watching Netflix. Jennifer has an MA in medieval history and has worked in the legal world for a number of years, in addition to being heavily involved in coaching women's artistic gymnastics. She has a warm and smooth British (general/BBC) voice, and she's comfortable with a soft South Wales accent and a general West Country accent. Jennifer lives in the Midlands with her husband and two children.
