Today’s children are growing up in a connected world—but that doesn’t mean they always know how to stay safe in it. As a parent or guardian, your guidance can make a huge difference.

Stay informed about digital trends and Learn about the apps and games your child uses, especially those with risks like violence, gambling, or unmoderated messaging.

Use parental controls and privacy tools and enable built-in safety features on devices, browsers, and platforms to add extra protection.
