If you are a parent, you might wish to restrict your family’s access to certain apps or sites. All major computing platforms have features allowing you to do so. For example, you can disable specific programs for individual users, monitor a child’s device and/or require your express approval for any purchases.

Be aware that when you post a picture or message online, you may also be inadvertently sharing personal details with strangers about yourself and family members – like where you live. Post only about others, as you would like to have them post about you: the golden rule applies online as well.

What can you do to help protect your child’s safety online?
