[h=3]Teaching Kids About Internet Safety
The internet can be a wonderful place to learn, shop, play games, talk to your
friends, and more. Unfortunately, there are also predators, identity thieves, and
other people online who may try to harm you. In order to be safe online, it's
important for you and your kids to be aware of the dangers
Many kids are confident that they know how to be safe online. However, there are a
couple of reasons why kids are often more at risk. The first reason is that they may
not always think about the consequences of their actions, which can cause them to
share too much information about themselves. The second reason is that kids are
sometimes specifically targeted by cyberbullies or predators
If you're a parent or guardian, you can help to keep your kids safe by talking to them
about their internet use, teaching them about online dangers, and learning
everything you can about the internet so that you can make informed decisions.

Teach your kids to keep personal information private
It's usually a bad idea to post personal information online such as phone numbers, addresses, or
credit cards. If a criminal gains access to this information, they can use it to harm you or your family.
[h=2]Teaching Kids About Internet Safety
Encourage your kids to come to you if they encounter a problem.
If your child gets into trouble online, you'll want them to come to you instead of hiding it. Keep
in mind that your kids could accidentally encounter a bad site, even if they're doing everything right.
[h=2]Teaching Kids About Internet Safety
Talk to your kids about internet use.
Talk to your kids regularly about how they use the internet. If they're in the habit of talking to you
about the internet, they'll be more willing to come to you if there is a problem.

home. Also, keep in mind that these are just suggestions; depending on your
parenting style and your kids' ages, you may choose not to use all of these
