More For Parents:

Teach them how to use the internet safely

There are lots of ways to teach your kids about the dangers of the internet. You can start by talking to them about what they see on TV and movies. Then talk to them about the different kinds of people who might try to trick them into doing things online. Finally, make sure they understand that there are real consequences to sharing personal information online.

Teach them what they should and shouldn’t post online

If you’re worried about your child posting something inappropriate online, you can help them learn how to use social media safely by explaining why certain posts are unacceptable. For instance, you can explain that it’s not okay to share private photos without permission. Also, you can tell them that it’s not acceptable to post anything that makes fun of others, especially when they’re underage.

Teach them how to protect their privacy

You should also make sure that your children understand what personal information they share online. This includes things like their name, address, phone number, email address, and any other information that might identify them. They should also know that anyone who finds out this information can contact them directly.

Teach them how to stay safe when using social media

If you’re worried about your child’s safety while online, there are several ways to help keep them safe. First, talk with them about why it’s important to use good judgment when sharing personal information online. Second, encourage them to only give out information that they would feel comfortable giving out to friends and family members. Third, teach them how to recognize fake profiles and accounts. Finally, remind them not to post anything inappropriate or embarrassing.
