Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We see news stories about the impact of technology on our everyday lives all the time these days. Many of us\u00a0started to think about how technology affects us personally. But how many of us have stopped to think about how it affects our children?<\/p>\n

85% of mothers said they use technology to keep their children busy (source<\/a>).<\/b><\/p>\n

Kids are receiving their first internet-capable device earlier and earlier. That same study showed that\u00a083% of American households have tablets, and 77% have smartphones (source<\/a>)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Even in school, technology is abundant. Teachers set homework that requires online research and tools and use apps to manage that homework.<\/p>\n

Technology is always adapting and it\u2019s here to stay, but many do not think about the safety risk in terms of cybersecurity. A recent study revealed a startling figure:\u00a068% of parents never check their children\u2019s online activity (source<\/a>)<\/b>. And that online activity increases year after year.<\/p>\n

For a lot of children, the online world is more real than the real world.\u00a0It is crucial to our children\u2019s wellbeing that we understand what they\u00a0see online, what is out there, both good and bad, and how it impacts their physical and emotional wellbeing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The problem, as many of us would eagerly admit, is that we feel we don\u2019t really understand the online world. Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter are bewildering enough, without even mentioning 4chan and TOR. Furthermore, we don\u2019t feel that we have the technical skills to navigate this complex landscape.<\/p>\n

The good news is that\u00a0it\u2019s not that difficult to put certain technical controls in place to protect your children online.<\/strong>\u00a0Far more importantly,\u00a0the best thing you can do to protect your children is to talk to them;\u00a0<\/strong>set clear boundaries for what and when they access online, but also to be there for your children when they make a mistake, or when they have gone too far. Isn\u2019t that what parenting fundamentally comes down to?<\/p>\n

In this comprehensive guide, we outlined eight areas that you should pay attention to as you navigate this complex online world. Depending on the ages of your children, not all of it will apply to you. Think of it not only as guidelines for what you should do now but what you should pay attention to as your children grow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
