Education is an essential factor. It teaches kids to identify and address the different challenges of the Internet in a very original and dynamic way.
Good (and bad) news travels fast online and, if some precautions are not taken, children may find themselves in complicated situations with lasting consequences. What is the solution? To know what to share with acquaintances and strangers.
It is important for children to know that people and situations online are not always what they seem. To know how to differentiate between the real and the false is a fundamental lesson in online security.
Personal security and privacy are as important online as in real life. Protecting valuable information allows children not to damage their devices, reputation and relationships.
The Internet is a powerful tool that can be used to communicate positive but also negative things. Children can do the right thing if we apply the concept of “treating others as we want to be treated” in all our online actions, which would have a positive impact.
There is a lesson that applies to all types of digital situations: When facing disturbing circumstances, kids should be comfortable talking about it with a trusted adult. For their part, adults can promote this behavior by encouraging open communication at home and in the classroom.
