It’s difficult for parents to protect our kids from everything online, but there’s a simple thing that can have a big impact: check their phones.
This will 1.) reinforce the fact that nothing posted online is anonymous and 2.) give them an excuse to opt out of questionable sites and behaviors because they know their parents will be periodically checking up on them.
This goes for apps like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and even gaming platforms. Just having eyes on what your kids are up to on their phones can have a big impact on their online habits.
What do you do to keep you family safe online?
