Here are five best practices to ensure a secure digital experience for kids:

1. Enable Parental Controls: Use built-in parental control features on devices and apps to filter inappropriate content and limit screen time.
2. Educate About Privacy: Teach children to avoid sharing personal information (name, address, school, etc.) online, even in seemingly secure platforms.
3. Monitor Online Activity: Regularly check your child’s online interactions, including social media, gaming, and browsing history, to spot any concerning behavior.
4. Encourage Open Communication: Foster a trusting environment where kids feel comfortable discussing anything unsettling they encounter online.
5. Set Clear Usage Rules: Establish clear guidelines on which websites and apps are allowed, when, and how long your child can use them.
