Tips for Online Safety During the School Holidays
During the holidays, children often spend more time online, making it crucial to ensure they stay safe. Here are some tips for parents to help keep kids safe in the digital world:
- Set clear rules about screen time, appropriate content, and online interactions. Consider creating a designated tech space at home, where devices are used under supervision and stored outside of bedrooms overnight.
- Stay engaged with your child’s online activities by monitoring the apps and games they use.
- Review new apps or games with your child before downloading, discussing content, social features, and ensuring they come from trusted sources.
- Encourage your child to talk to you or a trusted adult if they encounter online issues, emphasizing they’re not alone.
- Teach them to set profiles to private and limit personal information shared on social media and gaming platforms.
- Discuss the importance of strong passwords, passphrases, and multi-factor authentication (MFA), stressing that reusing or sharing passwords can make accounts vulnerable.
- Talk about maintaining a balanced digital lifestyle. Recognize when your child may need a break from screens and encourage healthy screen habits to support their mental and physical well-being.
