It is not a secret that children have access to the internet during both our presence and absence.

But the fact is it is not possible to monitor everything kids do on the internet.

But there are some tips on how to keep your children safe from internet predators.

If you take these tips, you can protect kids from:

1. Cyberbullying
2. Scams
3. Predators,
4. Inappropriate content.

Here are the tips in detail:

1. Set up parental controls on their devices.

Most smartphones, tablets, computers, and gaming consoles have settings that let you restrict what your kids can access, download, or purchase online.

You can also use apps or software that filter out harmful or adult websites and block certain keywords or categories.

2.Talk to them about online etiquette and safety.

Explain to your kids why they should never share personal information like:

their full name| address| phone number| school| photos with strangers online.

Teach them how to spot fake or phishing emails and messages that ask for their passwords or credit card details.

 Remind them to be respectful and kind to others online and not to engage in cyberbullying or trolling.

3.Encourage them to use strong and unique passwords for their accounts.

Help your kids create passwords that are hard to guess and different for each website or app they use.

You can use a password manager or generator tool to make this easier.

Tell them not to share their passwords with anyone, even their friends or family members.

4.Monitor their online activity and communication.

Check their browsing history, social media profiles, chat logs, and emails regularly.

You can also use parental monitoring software that lets you see what your kids are doing online in real-time.

 If you notice anything suspicious or concerning, talk to your kids about it and take action if needed.

5.Limit their screen time and set boundaries.

Decide how much time your kids can spend online each day and when they can use their devices.

For example, you can set a rule that they can only go online after they finish their homework or chores.

You can also designate some areas of your home as screen-free zones, such as the dining room or the bedroom.
