50+ Ways to Keep Your Children Safe Online
Stay Involved To Protect Children From Online Dangers
After implementing the tips mentioned above, you might think of taking a back seat. But think again. Just as parents are regularly involved in every aspect of their children’s play dates, school, or daycare environments, it is important for them to stay actively engaged in their online lives as well.
While it’s daunting to constantly keep tabs on what your kids are doing online, playing copilot with them is extremely important when their safety is at stake.
Another way to stay actively involved is to voice your opinions and have straightforward discussions with your kids regarding the sites they are visiting and the apps they download, and whether or not they are appropriate for their age.
It’s important to remember that staying involved and keeping your kids enlightened with the etiquette and dangers of the online world is equivalent to keeping them safe.
