The internet is a
big place. There is so much information just a click away and not all of it is
safe. Out there in the deep dark spaces of the internet, lurk black hat hackers
and cyber-bullys who will stop at nothing to get your personal information and use
it against you. With so much going on, there are still things that you can do
to make sure your kids are safe online:
1. Talk
to them about the dangers of internet: Just like how you would tell your children about the
dangers of the real world and the need to stay safe, let them know about the
dangers that they may encounter on the internet too. Cyber crime and bullying
are rampant, so make sure you equip them with the strategies to recognize and
save themselves from it.
2. Tell
your kids never to share their passwords: Passwords and other personal information should not be
shared even with those who seem trusted, especially on the internet. One can
use these passwords or personal information against you and lead you into some
serious trouble.
3. Have
an antivirus suite installed: Run
an antivirus on your device regularly and make sure that the system is
disinfected and there are no viruses or malwares. Viruses can compromise your
security and personal information greatly.
4. Use
privacy settings: Privacy
settings on social media profiles will make your kids choose who can see their
posts who can’t. These can be done to make sure that your privacy is never
compromised online.
We hope these kids
will help you make online security easier for you and your kids. Now that you
have done the hard work, you can now play
bingo online for real money without worrying about your information being
compromised.
This is definitely good advice for children and also for adults. We all should be extra careful about sharing our information.twinkle at optonline dot net
My niece & nephews are online all the time & I do worry about what they might run into there. Of course, we take all the precautions we can, but still…you keep an eye on them all the time.
It's so important to talk to your children about online safety and social media. It's almost impossible for them to get away from it.
