Keeping Your Kids Safe Online

Privacy Settings: The First Line of Defense

Talk to your kids about the importance of protecting their personal information. Help them understand how to use privacy settings to control who can see their posts and interact with them.

“Teaching others to navigate social media responsibly is just as important as understanding any tool—it’s about empowering people to protect themselves.” — Kimberly Russell

Cyberbullying: A Hidden Danger

Encourage open conversations about their online experiences. Reassure them that they can come to you if they face harmful behavior, and discuss how to report inappropriate content.

Screen Time: Finding Balance

Set clear boundaries for screen time to prevent it from interfering with other aspects of their lives. Encourage a healthy balance between online and offline activities.
