Teaching Kids About Security
Teaching your kids about online security will serve them well for the rest of their lives. For younger children, Dewie is always a good role-model to point to. As the FTC puts it, "Dewie's wired, but carries his security shell no matter what he's doing on the Internet. Even though turtles take their time, Dewie crosses the finish line first because he takes the appropriate steps to avoid a disaster." Below are some resources you can use to start talking to your children about online security.
Safety Tips for Students, Educators, and Families
The National Cyber Security Alliance and CyberSmart have developed some security tips for elementary school students, teens, educators, and families.
FTC's Safe Cyber Surfer Quiz for Kids
A good way to get kids thinking about security is to take a cybersecurity quiz together. The FTC has a fun (thanks to Dewie) quiz you and your children can take together.
