Discuss online safety: Talk to your children about the internet, your concerns, and their worries.
Use parental controls: Parental control software can help monitor activity, block inappropriate content, and set time limits. You can set up controls for each device your children use, such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets.
Manage screen time: Regulate how much time your children spend online. Many apps and platforms have a child filter or timer to encourage responsible browsing habits.
Monitor their activity: Stay involved and be aware of what your children are doing online. This can help protect them from cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and online predators.
Review the apps and websites they use: Use parental control passwords and review their privacy settings.
Protect personal information: Keep your children’s personal information private, such as passwords, name, address, school, or family information.
Agree boundaries: Agree on limits that help your children feel safe and secure. Younger children will need greater limits, but these can be renegotiated as they become older and more independent.
