To teach children to make better decisions online, we’ve created resources endorsed by Connect Safely and the Family Online Safety Institute to help them become smart, savvy, digital citizens.
Make educated choices online with these tips and resources
Be Internet Smart. Share with care
Good (and bad) news travels fast online, and without some forethought, kids and teens can find themselves in tricky situations that have lasting consequences. We’ve created tips for them to learn how to share appropriately with the right people.
Be Internet Alert. Don't fall for fake
It’s important to help your children become aware that people and situations online aren’t always as they seem. We’ve developed useful guidance on how you can help them discern between what’s real and what’s fake.
Be Internet Strong. Secure your secrets
Personal privacy and security are just as important online as they are offline. It’s important that your children understand how to safeguard their valuable information to avoid damaging their devices, reputations, and relationships.
Be Internet Kind. It's cool to be kind
The Internet is a powerful amplifier that can be used to spread positivity or negativity. Help your children take the high road by applying the concept of “treat others as you would like to be treated” to their actions online, creating positive impact for others and disempowering bullying behavior.
Be Internet Brave. When in doubt, talk it out
One lesson that applies to any and all encounters of the digital kind: When your children come across something questionable, they should feel comfortable talking to a trusted adult. You can support this behavior by fostering open communication at home.
