We encourage parents to have intentional conversations with their children about what they encounter online. These discussions could include:
Reminding children to never contact strangers online, on any platform
Encouraging children to share any worries or concerns with you;
Ensuring children understand the importance of not giving personal information to anyone they do not know;
Telling children no-one has the right to make them do anything they do not want to do;
Setting privacy systems on devices with your child as a way to have a conversation about safety.
Here are additional resources for you to help you have intentional conversations with your children about the internet and social media safety.
