Internet Safety Tips

 

 Did you know? 93% of teens
(ages 12-17) are online.

 

Start a discussion with your child
  • What are your favorite things to do online?
  • What is personal information? Why should you keep it private?
  • What could you do to be safer online?
  • What would you do if anyone online asked to meet you face-to-face?
  • Besides me, who do you feel that you can talk to if you are in a scary or uncomfortable situation
