Keeping Kids Safe Online

Let's Do This

Technology provides all kinds of new opportunities and possibilities for young people to explore.  But with it comes a responsibility for both youth and their caregivers to develop healthy boundaries and smart scrolling habits when it comes to surfing the web or social media.  Encourage open dialogue with your young person to learn more about how they use the Internet in school and at home.  Remind them that they can come to you with questions or concerns as they navigate the world wide web.

Stay Inspired

As a caring adult, it's important for you to do your own research on how you can best support your young people as they work or play online.  The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency has some great resources on a variety of topics, including keeping kids safe online and dealing with cyberbullies.
