Appropriate electronic use needs to be taught. Internet, social media, and phone safety need to be talked about regularly. Safety strategies include:
Never share passwords or personal information online. It can risk safety.
Once in cyberspace, always in cyberspace.
Do not blindly trust people you meet on-line.
Schools have policies about forwarding emails and photos from others. Cyberbullying comes with consequences.
Encourage open communication between yourself and your child about bullying and harassment.
