Back-to-school season is an ideal time to refresh internet safety rules with the children and teenagers in your care. For example, it is helpful to establish clear guidelines like what types of sites they can visit, apps they can download, and when they can have access to electronics. Families can also consider “blackout” periods that require disconnection – possibly during dinner and leading up to bedtime. Netsmartz (missingkids.org/netsmartz) offers resources for keeping children and teens safe online, for more information please visit https://www.missingkids.org/content/dam/netsmartz/downloadable/tipsheets/Internet-Safety-at-Home-EN-ES.pdf.
