The Basics of Kids Online Safety
Set Clear Rules
Establish clear guidelines about which sites your children can visit and what apps they can use. Consistently reinforce these rules to ensure they understand the importance.
Utilize Parental Controls
Make use of parental control tools on devices and within apps to monitor your child’s online activities and restrict access to inappropriate content.
Encourage Open Communication
Foster an environment where your children feel comfortable discussing their online experiences with you. This openness can help you address any concerns they might encounter.
Lead by Example
Demonstrate good online habits, such as respecting others' privacy and behaving kindly on social platforms. Your children are likely to mimic your online behavior.
Educate About Privacy
Teach your children the importance of keeping personal information private. This includes not sharing their full name, address, phone number, or school details online.
By implementing these basic strategies, parents can help ensure their children's online experiences are safe and positive! Remember: as the guardian, it is your responsibility to proactively educate your child on the potential dangers of being online. Or - and as we recommend - they can play Digipalz.
