English term or phrase: Be tech savvy
Be tech savvy. Radicalisation isn’t just an online problem, but the internet is one way young people connect with extremists who want to exploit them. Talk to your children about what they do online and stay alert for potential warning signs like increased secrecy.

be tech savvy
être calé en technologies


Explanation:
"calé" pour le registre un peu familier
"technologies" plutôt au pluriel : ensemble de plusieurs technologies plutôt que science des techniques

Je n'avais pas vu votre contexte !
Ici je dirais plutôt : "Restez à la page question technologies"

neutral  Tony M: Surely that's going a bit far? 'be at the leading/cutting edge/forefront of technology'?

be tech savvy
prenez conscience des technologies actuelles


Explanation:
Or: renseignez vous sur...

I wanted to somehow use « d'aujourd'hui », but it seemed a little clumsy.

Mettez-vous au diapason du numérique.


Explanation:
C'est l'idée que les parents ne doivent pas être à la traîne à l'égard des TI, de manière à pouvoir surveiller aisément ce que font leurs enfants. Ils ont intérêt à se synchroniser.

mettez-vous au courant


Explanation:
Although it does not say it all, the social media context is mentioned straight after. And it implies an ongoing 'keeping up' sort of learning rather than asking parents to become hi tech wizards. I feel the sentence should be snappy too!

agree  Didier Fourcot: I was about to suggest "restez au courant"... des techniques, de ce que font vos enfants, de ce qu'ils pensent, de ce qu'ils écrivent... Je trouve l'anglais trop restrictif donc je trouve qu'on peut élargir un peu avec une formule courte mais ouverte
