Keeping Our Students Safe in the Digital World Here are a few ways you can help reinforce good digital habits at home:
1. Talk About Online Safety – Have regular conversations with your child about responsible internet use, privacy, and the risks of sharing personal information.
2. Monitor Screen Time – Encourage a healthy balance between screen time and offline activities. Many devices offer parental controls to set limits.
3. Use Strong Passwords – Teach your child the importance of creating unique, strong passwords for their accounts. A password manager can help simplify this process.
4. Stay Vigilant Against Scams – Cybercriminals often target students through phishing emails and fake websites. Remind your child never to click on suspicious links or download unknown attachments.
5. Encourage Responsible Social Media Use – Discuss the impact of online behavior and remind them that what they post can have lasting consequences. | |
