Talking to your kids about online safety
• Children see parents/people use different types of technology at an early age.
• Once children reach the age to use computers, cell phones, or other electronic devices you should speak to them about appropriate online behavior, safety & security.
• As a parent, you should be the first to talk to your children; to protect them!
It’s never to early…
• Being positive & supportive is key to having a good relationship with your child.
• Children look up to their parents so it is important to listen & take note of their attitude/feelings which will help them be open with you.
• Try to use different opportunities to talk to your children (EX: News talking about cyberbullying, discuss what to do, or not to do).
Honest & Open Environment
• Talk about family values and how they apply to online context.
• Speaking to your children about values can help your child make wiser & more thoughtful decisions.
• Take your time when you speak to your children & repeating certain things may be needed.
