Talk about online safety at home!

Between texting, chats, games, and social media, staying on top of your family’s digital safety can feel overwhelming. But empowering your children with information can help them stay safe online. Here are some things that might work for your family:

• Set limits for screen time. Install filters to protect your child from inappropriate websites.
• Keep tabs on your child’s internet use. Make sure you know what sites your child visits, how much time he or she spends on them, and whom your child is communicating with.
• Keep the conversation going. Stay involved as your child gets older and starts using the internet in new ways.
• Know any passwords that your child uses, and explain that they shouldn’t be shared with friends.
• Safety in numbers. Put the family computer in a public place so that being online becomes a group experience.
• Consider not allowing your child to have any connected devices, such as a smartphone, laptop computer, or tablet, in private areas of your home, like a bedroom or bathroom.
