Cyber Safety for Families: Teaching Kids and Teens to Stay Safe Online

Children grow up online — and unfortunately, so do cybercriminals.

Teaching kids cyber safety early helps protect them now and into adulthood.

What kids should learn

• Don’t share personal info (full name, address, school)
• Be cautious talking to strangers in games
• Never click “free gift” links
• Don’t post photos that reveal their location

• Tell an adult if something feels uncomfortable
• Understand that digital footprints last forever

Tools for parents

• Safe search settings
• Parental control apps
• App content filters
• Screen time limits
• Activity reports
