In a group, mute or leave, never forward a private message, and be kind.
A group chat is a crowd: lots of people see what you send, and some of them you hardly know.
You can be added to a group you did not choose. Look at who is in it with a grown-up, and leave if you want.
A private message is only for the person it was written to. A screenshot of it, or forwarding it, is not yours to share.
When a crowd laughs at someone, you do not have to join in. Write kindly to them on your own.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
No. A private message was written for one person.
Mute. Muting makes it quiet, but you are still in.
No, leaving is okay. Say thanks and leave. A grown-up can show you the button.
Write kindly to them on my own. One kind message, just to them, helps.
Ask a grown-up to show you how to mute or leave a group. Practise it together.
Sit down together and find the mute and leave buttons in a chat your child uses, then practice leaving a group kindly.
