It’s back-to-school time again! Have you reviewed with your children how to stay safe on the way to and from school, during school hours, and while they’re on the Internet? Here are three topics you may want to discuss with your child:
Keeping personal information private. Children need to know that it’s not OK to give out personal information to strangers or while they are online.
