The internet is an amazing space for learning, creativity, and connection. But it is also full of challenges that children may not fully understand. As parents, educators, or mentors, we have a responsibility to prepare them for this digital world.

Talking to our kids about the internet is not about control. It is about guidance, trust, and empowerment. When we have open conversations, children learn to:

• Protect their privacy and personal information.
• Recognize misinformation and harmful content.
• Handle online pressure and cyberbullying.
• Use technology mindfully and responsibly.

The goal is to help them grow into confident, thoughtful digital citizens. The best online safety tool is not software. It is conversation.
