Parenting in a Digital World: It's Not About Fear, It’s About Conversation.
We know how overwhelming it is trying to keep your children safe online. You asked how to even start the conversation about cyber risks without creating fear or confusion.
Great news!
As part of our Cyber Awareness Month Q&A, Simon sat down with his son, Jack (age 11), to show you exactly how simple it can be. We had to split this one in two parts to make sure we covered everything so keep an eye out for second video!
In Part 1 of this special Q&A, we cover:
The Approach: How to prepare and educate your children to be safe digital citizens, not just follow a rigid set of rules.
The Top 3 Cyber Conversations: The three non-negotiable rules ('The Tell Rule,' 'The Digital Name Tag,' and 'The Locker Rule') you need to have with your kids today—especially if they "occasionally nick your tech."
A massive thank you to everyone who submitted questions.
Later this week, we'll dive into Part 2, where we tackle the overwhelming world of settings and controls, answering the question: "Where do I even start with securing my child's PlayStation/Xbox?"
