Be respectful – and expect respect
and expect respectRespect for yourself and other people is important in all relationships, and it’s no different when you’re online.
Protect your reputation
Make sure your child understands the consequences of posting photos and videos, and uploading other personal content. Once this content is online, it’s very hard to get rid of and can become part of your child’s permanent online reputation. Also, photos can be altered or shared without your child’s permission.Protect your privacyThere are several ways your child can protect their privacy:
Share only as much personal information as necessary – for example, it’s not compulsory to enter your year of birth, mobile number, email address or city on all online forms.Keep privacy settings up to date on social media sites, so your child’s profile isn’t publicly available.
Keep passwords private.
Be scepticalThere are many dodgy people, places and offers online.Not everyone online is who they say they are. It’s important for your child to be careful about what they share with people they don’t know.
Watch your tone
It’s often hard to ‘read’ emotion in posts and emails, and jokes can easily be misinterpreted. You can encourage your child to ‘stop, think, review’ before they send a message or post an online comment. Using emojis or hashtags can help.
