Protecting your children from online threats and cyberbullying takes vigilance, education, and communication. Here are some suggested steps to ensure a safer online experience for your children:

1. Supervise your child’s online activity and behavior. Put safeguards in place to help limit your child’s online activity to appropriate websites and apps.


2. Educate your child about potential online risks and how to stay safe. Talk to your child about the importance of good digital citizenship as well as appropriate online behavior.


3. Encourage open communication between you and your child and establish clear rules about safety practices and online use.


4. Set parental controls to filter and monitor your child’s online activity. Your options will vary depending on the internet service provider and devices your child uses.


5. Report cyberbullying or suspicious behavior when you become aware of it. Report any instances of inappropriate content or harassing messages to the website or app moderators.
