  1. Understand cyberbullying and online predators.

    It's important for parents to educate themselves on the types of online threats their children may face. Educate yourself on how to spot the signs of cyberbullying and the methods used by online predators, and talk to your children about the dangers associated with the internet.

  2. Set up parental controls on devices and networks.

    Protect your children by setting up parental controls on their devices and network connections. This gives you the ability to monitor their online activity and block any potentially harmful content.

  3. Monitor social media activity.

    Monitor your children's social media accounts for signs of cyberbullying. Be open and honest with your kids about why you are monitoring their accounts and remind them that they can come to you if they need help dealing with any cyberbullying.

  4. Teach responsible behaviors for online interactions.

    Teach your children the importance of responsible online interactions and encourage them to extend kindness and show respect when interacting with others online. Help your children develop guidelines for using the internet and set a good example with your own online behavior.

  5. Address any problematic situations.

    If your child is the victim of cyberbullying or encounters an online predator, it's important to address it as soon as possible. Take the necessary steps to protect your child and carefully monitor their online behavior in the future.
