Teaching our Kids Online Safety
Our kids have never known a world without the internet. It’s commonplace for a toddler to skillfully operate any mobile device. And just like we teach them to tie their shoes, be kind to others, and how to wash their own clothes, we need to teach them about online safety and privacy.
It’s There FOREVER
It is crucial to teach our children that once something is posted, it can easily be copied, shared, and pretty much impossible to get back. Before posting consider if this is something you want grandma seeing? Keep posts positive and classy!
