Internet Safety for Kids

The internet is an amazing place where we can learn, play, and connect with others. But, it can also be dangerous, especially for kids. Here are some tips to keep your children safe online:

Know What They’re Doing: Make sure you know which websites your kids visit and who they talk to online. Set rules about what they can and can’t do.

Use Privacy Settings: Help your kids set up their privacy settings on social media and other online platforms. This can help keep their information private.

Teach Them to Be Careful: Tell your kids not to share personal information like their full name, address, or school online. Remind them that not everyone online is who they say they are.

Limit Screen Time: Set limits on how much time your kids spend online. Encourage them to play outside, read books, or do other activities instead.

Talk Openly: Keep communication open. Let your kids know they can talk to you if something online makes them uncomfortable or scared.

Stay safe online, Chesterfield!
