6 Internet Safety Tips to Do Today!
Verify
With hackers and scams becoming more and more savvy, take the time to learn how to spot fake information and potential security threats before they result in issues.
Always choose private!
For any social media profile or app, ensure that your profile settings are marked “private.” Only allow people you know access to information about you!
Talk…again and again
Continue to have conversations with your child about websites, apps, online games, and trends that are out on the internet. Ask your child to show you the newest Tik Tok dance craze!
Be in Control
Sexting with another person gives them unlimited control over your body with a simple picture. Take back control and instead discover ways to decrease the peer pressure to send illicit pictures or videos.
Friends IRL (In Real Life)
You can be anyone online…and that’s a bad thing. Make sure your “friends” list contains only people you know in real life.
“If you can be anything, be kind!”
Cyberbullying is on the rise with increased screen time. Have conversations about how to treat others online.
