Lessons To Share With Children -A Short read.

Personal information is a valuable commodity online. Teach your child to be mindful of what they share and to follow these essential tips:

*Avoid sharing full names, home addresses, phone numbers, school names, or detailed daily routines. This information can be exploited for identity theft, stalking, or harassment.

*Strong Passwords: Never use easily guessable information like phone numbers, addresses, or birthdays. Change passwords on a regular basis.

Phishing: Teach your child to be wary of text messages or emails that seem too good to be true or asking for personal information. 

*Teach your child to avoid using unsecured Wi-Fi locations such as coffee shops, hotels, airports, etc., that are on public Wi-Fi.

*Pro Tip: Use the HOTSPOT option on a cell phone when away from home.
