Why Talk About Digital Safety?

Children are exposed to technology from an early age. Regular conversations help them understand risks, build trust, and empower them to make safe choices online.

  • Ask open-ended questions about their online experiences
  • Share your own digital habits and concerns
  • Listen actively and validate their feelings

Conversation Starters

  • What's your favorite thing to do online?
  • Has anyone ever made you feel uncomfortable online?
  • What would you do if you saw something upsetting on the internet?
  • How do you decide what's safe to share?
