5 tips for back-to-school online safety
|
With so many of our members being busy parents, we know how worrying it can be to think of our children potentially being targeted online.
|
Parent responsibly—be mindful about sharing your child’s first day of school and other milestones on social media.
|
Know the signs for cyberbullying—signs that your child may be affected, like being secretive with their online activities, avoiding school or social outings, a decline in school grades, or a sudden change in friendship groups.
|
Set screen time limits— with screens increasingly being used at school and home, it’s important to ensure your child has a healthy balance of offline and online time.
|
Use tools— make sure the privacy settings on their apps and games are turned on and help show them how to block and report people online.
|
|
Stay engaged—it’s also important to let them know we’ll be there to support them if anything goes wrong. There is no substitute for taking an interest in our children’s online lives from an early age, to help establish strong foundations and open lines of communication.
